Race the Night

Without
you,
there'd
be
no
hope
for
the
world.
Because
you
are
the
whole
world.
That's what Teacher says, and twelve-year-old Eider knows she's right. The world ended long ago, and the desert ranch is the only thing left. Still, Eider's thoughts keep wandering Beyond the fence. Beyond the pleated earth and scraggly brush and tedious daily lessons. Eider can't help wishing for something more-like the stories in the fairytale book she hides in the storage room. Like the secret papers she collects from the world Before. Like her little sister who never really existed.
When
Teacher
announces
a
new
kind
of
lesson,
Eider
and
the
other
kids
are
confused.
Teacher
says
she
needs
to
test
their
specialness-the
reason
they
were
saved
from
the
end
of
the
world.
But
seeing
in
the
dark?
Reading
minds?
As
the
kids
struggle
to
complete
Teacher's
challenges,
they
also
start
to
ask
questions.
Questions
about
their
life
on
the
desert
ranch,
about
Before
and
Beyond,
about
everything
Teacher
has
told
them.
But
the
thing
about
questions-they
can
be
dangerous.
This moving novel-equal parts hope and heartbreak-traces one girl's journey for truth and meaning, from the smallest slip of paper to the deepest understanding of family. The world may have ended for the kids of the desert ranch . . . but that's only the beginning.

"Hubbard keeps pages turning with careful pacing of the revelations about Eider's world and ever increasing clues that Teacher may not be telling the truth... A claustrophobic survival tale that will keep readers guessing."—Kirkus Reviews
"Clues of a world beyond creep in and out of the narrative as easily as half-remembered dreams, keeping the reader as hesitant and suspicious as the children themselves...similar to that inThe Giver.... [Hubbard] draws the suspense out until the very last page. This is a good recommendation for young fans of Margaret Peterson Haddix or Suzanne Collins."—BookPage
