review 1: Technically 3.5 stars but they don't offer that. Okay at first the plot is a little hard to follow, but I got it more as it went along. A lot of what confused me was the fact that the book doesn't tell you the year. At first I was like "war, past" because I like historical fiction. But then it was like "jeans 500 bucks, ID bracelet, cellphone" so I was like "DITCH THAT IDEA. It's the future!" And another little part was the notebook(hahaha hi Nicholas Sparks" which was electronic but I took a while to pick up on that. All in all good book, and I can't wait to read the others.
review 2: If you like Margaret Peterson Haddix's Shadow Children series, you'll like the Tomorrow Girls series. They are both set in the not so distant future in a world with a government ... morethat has questionable motives. Louisa is the narrator of the story and the first 2/3rds of the book is all set up in characters, settings, and relationships which is a little slow but not to bad. After the camping trip, the plot picks up and really leaves you with a cliff hanger. Luckily, the first two books come together as a set at the bookfair. It's a good upper elementary/middle school book with no swear words or innuendos. There is some drama between Louisa and her friend/sister Maddie and some internal conflicts about the desire to be popular or loyal to her friend which could make good conversation for a girl's book club. less
