Review

So, here’s the deal. I don’t normally read books written in verse, (aka kind-of like a poem) but Megan Freeman’s books are the exception because they are amazing!!!!!

This book is a companion novel to Alone. It’s about 4 different kids who all end up in the same evacuation camp after a imminent danger threatens the state of Colorado. However, no one knows what this danger is. The government won’t tell anyone and nothing seems to be happening. So these kids decides to make a difference. They make a documentary of what they’ve seen and heard that isn’t quite adding up. But some people will stop at nothing to cover up the real danger…

This book was amazing!!!! Not only did I love the stunning cover, but the story was so interesting! The suspense and mystery throughout the book was great. I really enjoyed the different characters and their different motives. The way it was written was totally fun! Some of the chapters are in verse, some in screen plays and some in journals. Talk about awesome!!!! Honestly, I loved Alone sooooo much, and Away is equally as good!

Now there is some mention of violence in the novel. The imminent danger causes panic and some people get hurt. But it isn’t as violent as Alone where the girl is totally by herself surviving. This one just hints at the possibility of people getting hurt, broken bones and concussions. Super clean.

Overall, this is an amazing book that I really love. It would be a great read for boys and girls 10 and up, or teens and young adults who love a good kids book! I definitely suggest this book as well as its companion novel, Alone. -The Young Llama Reader.

Pros

  • An amazing book filled with suspense and humor!
  • A great message about teamwork!!!
  • Fabulous read for boys and girls 10 and up!

Cons

  • Some mention of violence and people getting hurt.

A group of children investigate the threat that prompted large-scale evacuations in this powerful and dramatic companion novel to the New York Times bestselling Alone told in multiple POVs.

After an imminent yet unnamed danger forces people across Colorado to leave their homes, a group of kids including an aspiring filmmaker and a budding journalist find themselves in the same evacuation camp. As they cope with the aftermath of having their world upended, they grow curious about the mysterious threat.

And as they begin to investigate, they start to discover that there’s less truth and more cover-up to what they’re being told. Can they get to the root of the conspiracy, expose the bad actors, and bring an end to the upheaval before it’s too late?
