This story is one that anyone from teen on up could enjoy. I may be a reader that loves all things romance but I’ve learned that there are times where you need to get outside your comfort zone. If you don’t, you could miss a book like this.
It’s one of those books that would be good for a book club. There’s plenty to discuss and ponder here. The author has created something that might be considered our future unless we change our ways. I found it interesting how the author used something that has been out for a while but hasn’t really been in the limelight until it started being used to help people, and how she uses it here I hope never comes true. But that piece of equipment did have me think of Star Trek.
One thing our author does is show that even teenagers can be smart. Jonnie does something that even I as an adult may not have thought to do. Our young adults are starting to care about the world around them and this could be something for them to consider. I even think that at some point I may even check out Ms. Aronson’s resources. It’s not too late even for me to make a change in my little piece of the world. This book left me with one question, “will our author put pen to paper and create another ecofiction style book?”
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

This book was very interesting in concept but not as much in terms of its storyline...
I didn’t feel any attachment to the characters and it felt incredibly rushed. At only 112 pages it didn’t give enough time to fully form any real relationships or depth.
It’s main redeeming factor was the imagination of what the world might be like in the future and how we might end up. Interesting and thought provoking in that sense but not entirely original.
