Spill Zone

Spill Zone by Scott Westerfeld, 212 pages

Addison needs to support her sister so, even though it’s not allowed, she sneaks into the spill zone frequently to take photos, which she is able to sell to various collectors.  No one is quite sure what caused the spill zone, but Addison’s parents died in it and her sister, Lexa, barely made it out.  Addison gets the chance to make a great deal of money by running an errand in the spill zone.  Unfortunately, the errand requires her to break several of her rules, so she may not survive to collect.  This is typical Westerfeld, and it may be even better in graphic format than some of his other, non-graphic, books.  I would give this to a multitude of teens, even those who don’t usually like graphic novels, if they like supernatural adventure type stories.
