Amy and her parents, along with a hundred or more others were frozen, put on a HUGE space ship and then they were supposed to fly away in space to another earth-like planet 300 years away. When they get to the new Earth the "frozens" would set up camp, in the meantime there were about 3,000 people living on the spaceship (this isn't some weirdo SiFi story but it does take place in the future and in space). BUT something goes wrong and Amy is woken up about 50 years too soon. How annoying is that? And truly awful; she finds herself on a spaceship filled with people she doesn't know who act different then they did on the real Earth. She knew something was going on to make them act so weird and with the search for the person responsible for defrosting her she discovers a ship load of secrets!!
Sounds awesome right? IT is!
What a book! This was an amazing story and I enjoyed every single page. I loved a lot about this book. The character development was great. I love how some authors can make the reader actually care about the characters on a somewhat emotional level. I also loved that there was no swearing in this book...okay at least not real swearing since this is the future there were new swear words-gotta love that. Also, as a mother with more to do then read all day this book was mostly short chapters! That means I can wash the bathroom-read a chapter, clean the kitchen-read a chapter and so on. LOVE THAT. Read it-let me know what you think.
Favorite quote: Under the blue-crystal-flecked water, the girl finally jerks out the last of the tubes, and I see little electronic devices attached to the ends. The girl's eyes are wide open, and she's staring straight up at us. Her mouth is open in a perfect circle, sucking in the water. "What's she trying to do, drink it all up?" Doc asks, reaching into the watery mess for the girl. I stand back, horrified. "No," I whisper. "She's screaming"
Grade: A+
