Doomsday Kids: \n"This book is
the bomb (terrible, ironic pun intended)!" \n"The characters were diverse and stretched across genders, ages, races, body types and personalities. I cared about every single one of them in their own way and I liked that they didn't all instantly get along. These kids bickered and argued like
real kids. They were bonded, but not cliche besties." \n"I don't usually go for YA dystopian novels, but this book
grabbed me from the first scene and kept me turning pages. I had to know what happened to these kids. Great, fast-paced story!"
