World Gone Mad

by B. Elizabeth Beck

WORLD GONE MAD offers welcome respite in these strange days. Beck brings back the beloved characters of SUMMER TOUR, this time the story told from a slightly different perspective. We follow the kids as they navigate senior year of high school, face adversities and tragedy, and survive the effects of a global pandemic, all while holding close to the phamily they've found in each other.

Community has been the most important aspect of being a Phish phan in 2020, and Elizabeth Beck has captured that spirit in WORLD GONE MAD. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

the ending seemed a bit rushed to me personally but I cried a few times. I loved seeing some things come full circle from the first book. I cannot wait to read about Karen’s childhood in the 3rd one.
