Philbrick, Rodman._The last book in the universe. Scholastic, 2000
[0-439-087589]
In this future world, everything has been destroyed and people live
in chaos. Spaz is told by the gang leader to steal everything an
old man has. When he arrives the man gives him everything except
a book he is writing -- Spaz has never seen a book before so he
leaves it. One day he gets a message that his sister is dying on
the other side of the city -- He and the old man are joined by a feral
child as the go on an incredible journey to find his sister. This 223
is page-turning science fiction ( I had trouble putting it down.) Here
see a world which as been destroyed by a massive earth quake
which leveled everything. Most of the people live in this mess of
rubble but there are some genetically engineered people living in an
Eden in the middle of the whole thing. This book is fascinating,
has a strong message, and is a great read. Wonderful, meaty
science fiction for the middle school and upper. Don't miss this
one!
