review 1: I thought this was a very exciting novel. It had lots of action and suspense. At some points, it was a little bit hard to follow, but overall, it was very good. I could make a connection to this book because Joey lost his mom in this story. I know some people, who have had one of their parents die and I know how hard it is for them. One of the Survivors is about a boy named Joey, and a girl named Maureen, who are blamed for setting a fire that killed their entire history class, including their teacher, Mr. Austen. Joey and Maureen must prove that the fire was only an accident and that they are not murderers like everyone thinks they are. I would recommend this book for anyone that likes suspense and action because there was plenty of that in this book. Overall, I t... morehought it was a fantastic book.
review 2: Joey and Maureen were the lucky ones. The fire alarm had been constantly going off that day at school. Each time the intercom would come on, telling everyone that they were testing the new alarm system. But the last time it goes off, the intercom message is fuzzy. Mr. Austen is annoyed by the interruptions to his class and he tells everyone to ignore the alarm again. But Joey can’t. His mother died the previous year in a fire, and he and his best friend are the only people in the class to defy their teacher and evacuate their classroom. They are also the only ones to survive the fire that kills everyone else. Needless to say, Joey is traumatized by the whole thing. Afraid to be in his house and harassed by those who blame him for the fire (looking for someone to blame, he and Maureen became the natural, albeit innocent, scapegoats) Joey cannot get past what has happened to him. How do you get over the fact that you are only one of two survivors? less
