review 1: This book had a good story line, but lacked intensity. We believe the intended audience is younger kids. It's a good book if you can relate to the story or are interested in environmental problems, but if not the book is a slow read. Reading this as adults, the story seems boring and difficult to get into. There are some problems regarding the storyline and the ages of the children. The children in the book are careless and a bad influence for young children. If your children are reading this make sure they know the environmental situations are not common and children do not do this on a regular basis.
review 2: I got 2/3 of the way through the book and left it. Obviously, I am in the minority in regards to the reviews, but I felt the plot was too scattered. Li
... moreving in a human created "toxic dump," was creative and has the essence of reality (I thought of Love Canal), however, I felt the story dragged in places. Other than seeking revenge for his father's death, the purpose of taking down the chemical company seemed like another dystopia book with a mutant teen saving the world. less

A grim dystopian tale, dark and compelling.
