On the way to school the world seems to come to an end that
morning. Giant hail comes down and
Dean’s bus driver loses control of the bus and crashes. The bus carrying Dean’s younger brother is
behind them but their driver manages to get under cover by driving the bus
directly through the doors of the Greenway super store. She then manages to help rescue the survivors
of the bus crash. So, six high school
kids, two junior high kids and four elementary age kids are trapped in the
store, with the Network down and no way to contact anyone. Although it really isn’t safe, the bus
driver, decides to leave the high school kids in charge and try to get to the
hospital to get help, because some of the kids are injured. Thus begins the kids’ ordeal. They have food, but they must learn to work
together in order to survive not only the storms and the release of chemicals
from a nearby plant, but also the people who want to get in to the store for
various reasons, mostly not good. I
really enjoyed this apocalyptic survival story and think that teens that enjoy
this genre would too.
