This is my one of my favorite books at the moment because of the scary plot and the realistic characters. The story is that a volcano erupts at Yellowstone (which, as if it wasn't horrifying enough, could actually happen) which causes disaster in Iowa and Illinois where the main character, Alex, is. Now, this occurs just after Alex's parents and sister leave for Illinois so this kid is basically left to fight for himself as the toxic ash steadily falls upon him. He decides he must find a way to walk all the way to where his parents are but must manage to find food and water, find warmth, and just see a few feet in front of him. On the way he meets Darla and together they struggle to survive.
Being the fan of post-apocalyptic stories that I am, I really loved this book. I did not want it to ever end. It is surprising the means that people would go just to survive or feed their families. Also, the book is a very nice love story between the character Alex and the girl he meets Darla. They, in a way, need each other to survive. I highly recommend this book to those who like disaster books!
