But Scott’s dad is the only one in the neighborhood who actually prepares for the worst. As the neighbors scoff, he builds a bomb shelter to hold his family and stocks it with just enough supplies to keep the four of them alive for two critical weeks. In the middle of the night in late October, when the unthinkable happens, those same neighbors force their way into the shelter before Scott’s dad can shut the door. With not enough room, not enough food, and not enough air, life inside the shelter is filthy. But the real question is, What lies behind the door after they open it?

Stewart is a quirky, gifted intellectual who is coping with the loss of his mother, while Ashley is a popular fashionista still reeling from her parents' divorce—brought about by her father's announcement that he is gay. When a serious relationship develops between Stewart's father and Ashley's mother, the two teens find themselves living under the same roof. By turns humorous and heartbreaking, the story is told in alternating chapters narrated by both protagonists. In comparison to Stewart, Ashley is somewhat underdeveloped, but the contrast between the two characters makes for a compelling read, particularly as they begin to challenge and influence each other. 256 pages. 4 stars.]]> 2016-10-14 18:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lull70162/mclh4dxx2gg2/wish/130840974 lull70162 https://padlet.com/lull70162/mclh4dxx2gg2/wish/138828344 I just finished reading the book Wonder by R.J Palacio, which is about August Pullman, who is a 10-year-old with a facial deformity that causes others to avoid and even shun him.
