review 1: I really liked this story. Again, it has some similarities to other post-apocalyptic novels. There are definitely some differences in that the catastrophe occurred in a small area of Vermont, so the rest of the world continues as normal. Because of this aspect of the story, it also causes the novel to be about other issues such as homelessness, foster care, and mental illness. It is a super moving story and held my attention.
review 2: WOW. I listened to the audio book which, incidentally, was ready by the author's daughter. This was a gripping tale. May it only be a tale. Nuclear meltdown at a reactor in the Northern Kingdom of VT. The 16 year old daughter of the man who is probably the cause of the accident finds herself orphaned and homeless in Bur... morelington. This is the story of how she survived for almost a year before being found by authorities when she snuck back home (home now being in the restricted area) hoping to at least find her dog. Powerful and very scary "read". less
