A fast-paced adventure
In the wreckage after World War 3 and its green
bombs, small towns have emerged. Hope lives in just such a town, called White
Rock. Unable to invent, as her town expects from all its citizens, Hope
struggles to fit in. Because of her lack of inventing skill, Hope chooses to
invest more time in the other skills that she finds strength in, like sky
jumping into the Bomb's Breath the toxic band of air left by the bombs.
However, when bandits invade the town, seeking priceless antibiotics, Hope's
daredevil nature may just save her world.
A book so exhilarating, it could be compared to
actual sky jumping, this book had realistic characters, exciting plot and an
interesting setting. Hope is a great protagonist whose perspective is often the
same as the reader's perspective on things. I like this because it makes the
entire story seem possible. The content and vocabulary render the book friendly
to all listeners, and the plot holds readers tight and does not let go till the
end of the story. I gave it five stars for an immersive experience that
included humor and action in a child-friendly manner.
