Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 9 Up - A fast-moving, compelling, and plot-driven sequel to The Big Empty(Penguin, 2004). Seven teenagers have found sanctuary in Novo Mundum, an oasis of relative calm, health, and safety in the midst of this post-apocalyptic America. However, someone may be passing information about this place to enemies in the outside world, and they want to find out who it is. Amber, Irene, Diego, and Liza investigate suspicious clues within the settlement, while Michael, Gabe, and Keely are sent out to scout for supplies by Novo Mundum's leaders, Dr. Paul Slattery, a medical researcher, and his brother Frank, an ex-Marine in charge of day-to-day operations. The journey outside takes on grade-B horror-movie proportions, which are described in lurid detail. The group encounters marauding gang members, charred bodies, and a young boy living with the decayed corpses of his parents. However, the discoveries made by the teens within the settlement are even worse, putting all of their lives in danger. Paradise City is slightly reminiscent of John Marsden's Tomorrow, When the War Began (Houghton, 1995), which also features teenagers taking on a post-apocalyptic world in hair-raising and dangerous escapades. However, those characters are realistic, flesh-and-blood young people, while character development in Paradise City is limited to what is needed to move the plot along. Sex is hinted at, but some of the raw language used may be more offensive than the realistic sex in Marsden's series. Undemanding fare for fans of the first book. - Susan L. Rogers, Chestnut Hill Academy, PA

4.0 out of 5 stars Paradise City, Sep 11 2008
By Diane M. Greiwe - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Big Empty 02 Paradise City (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm a junior high language arts teacher. I teach a science fiction/fantasy unit, and this book, as well as the other 3 in the series, is great for students who don't think they like this genre. It is science fiction, but not too "far out" for those students who prefer realistic fiction. If I can talk a student into reading the first book, he/she will almost definitely read all four.
