It's the end of the world as we know it, and five teenagers are feeling anything but fine. They've been plucked from their lives in 2012 and thrown ahead 75 years into the future. They aren't your usual teenagers, either. Kali has survived a number of disasters. Tigre has an affinity with animals and runs without a goal during the storms that dog him. Venus is a wildly popular pop star who got her start as a preteen. Gus, orphaned at 14, lives with his older brother in Los Angeles. The fifth teenager, Amon, has always known just how special he is. All five are drawn together from around the world for a special purpose. Gus, however, is the monkey wrench in the mix. He was never intended to be an avatar, but has become one nevertheless. Sutherland is an innovative and eloquent writer, creating complex characters and handling a complicated plot told from different perspectives with ease.
