A to Z Challenge 2016: P
The book I chose for the letter P was Project ELE by Rebecca Gober and Courtney Nickels.
Millions have already died, and thousands more are perishing daily. As a last ditch effort to preserve the human race, the government implements Project ELE. With the earth heating at rapid speeds, all remaining survivors are forced to turn to F.E.M.A. shelters to wait out ELE's wrath.
Fifteen-year-old Willow Mosby's life, as she knows it, ends the moment she walks through the shelter's door. Willow has to quickly adapt to the new challenges that shelter life demands, the least of which includes making new friends and working a full time job.
Soon after making an interesting discovery, Willow and her friends start exhibiting strange abilities. Seeking answers, they embark on a mission to find out what these new abilities mean and whether they are a gift or a curse.
This new adventure can send her world crashing down around her. The question is: Can Willow survive the fall?
This is a great story idea but I am not sure if the execution quite follows through. It starts of really well and the ending is fantastic and makes you want to keep reading but the middle is a little blah and to be honest if I hadn't have been reading it as part of a challenge I probably would not have made it to the end.

I love your honest critiques and reviews.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like a good story, it reminds me of a film with Matt Damon where the earth has been destroyed by man...erm...I wish i could remember its name. Obviously this book is the teen version! lol
