This was an odd book and I’m not really sure that I liked
it. The story seems to be about Valley,
whose family is paranoid about government conspiracies, specifically about
black helicopters, which keep appearing, although the government does not
acknowledge them. The helicopters are
responsible for killing Valley’s mother and she, her father, and her brother,
are determined to prove their existence and blow up some people in the
process. Valley’s father dies and Valley
and her brother, Bo, leave to seek safety elsewhere, but are still part of the
movement to expose the truth. The book
skips back and forth between what’s happening right now and the story from
Valley’s mother’s death through everything else leading up to now. I really wanted more explanation about
everything. I’m sure that the starkness
of the details was supposed to mimic Valley’s feelings or something along those
lines, but I really didn’t enjoy it much and found it kind of confusing. I probably wouldn’t recommend it to anyone,
although teen fans of survivalist or conspiracy theory novels may like it.
