Sky on Fire: Monument 14

Autor Emmy Laybourne
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mai 2014 – vârsta de la 13 până la 18 ani

Trapped in a superstore by a series of escalating disasters, including a monster hailstorm and terrifying chemical weapons spill, brothers Dean and Alex learned how to survive and worked together with twelve other kids to build a refuge from the chaos. But then strangers appeared, destroying their fragile peace, and bringing both fresh disaster and a glimmer of hope.

Knowing that the chemical weapons saturating the air outside will turn him into a bloodthirsty rage monster, Dean decides to stay in the safety of the store with Astrid and some of the younger kids. But their sanctuary has already been breached once. . . .

Meanwhile, Alex, determined to find their parents, heads out into the darkness and devastation with Niko and some others in a recently repaired school bus. If they can get to Denver International Airport, they might be evacuated to safety. But the outside world is even worse than they expected. . . .

Monument 14: Sky on Fire is the second installment Emmy Laybourne's thrilling series.

Praise for Monument 14: Sky on Fire:

"A nifty plot that provides unexpected moments of chaos." -The Horn Book

"Pretty darn breathless." -Booklist

"The well-paced plot leads to an ending that provides just enough closure to satisfy and a clear opening for a third book. Libraries that own the original need the sequel. Those without it should consider purchasing both titles." -School Library Journal

"Since reading Monument 14--in one edge-of-my-seat, non-stop read--I've been unable to go into a department store without planning my survival strategy. Paranoia, Aisle 23!" -Eric Walters, author of The Rule of Three

Recenzii

'Laybourne excels at combining specific details of a world gone horribly wrong with intriguing characters, adding a few new ones along the way as she sets up the next series entry.'
PRAISE FOR MONUMENT 14:
'Laybourne's strong characterizations of the resourceful, optimistic children who make up this improvised family intensify the horror of the situation and make the series of catastrophes frighteningly real.'

The fast-paced novel, contains fascinating characters, each one has their own way of trying to make sure their own world, inside the superstore, doesn't self-destruct.
a tense, claustrophobic, and fast-paced thriller.
A thoroughly satisfying dystopian thriller and all fans of the genre will enjoy it.
