[Jude · Rating 2 out of 5]

Another SA novel for young adults, this time probably for younger teens. The theme is global warming and the likely extinction of human life. The protagonist, a young girl, is 'chosen' by beings from a distant planet to help save her own earth. A little simplistic and all problems too easily solved, but written in simple, readable language. The frequent spelling errors were one of the main flaws for me - I cannot read or recommend books that confuse 'lose' and 'loose' or 'you're' and 'your'.... Published by AuthorHouse in Bloomington - I see it's a company that assists writers to self-publish, so maybe the author needed a better editor.
