What do you do with your last day on Earth?
Just over twenty-four hours are left until an asteroid strikes North America, and for Emerson and everyone else who didn't leave, the world will end. But Emerson's world already ended when she ran away from home. Since then, she has lived on the streets, relying on her wits and on her friend Vince to help her find places to sleep and food to eat.
They city's quieter now that most people are gone, and no one seems to know what to do as the end approaches. But then Emerson and Vince meet Carl, who tells them he has been granting people's wishes--and gives them his wallet full of money.
Suddenly, this last day seems full of possibility. Emerson and Vince can grant a lot of wishes in one last day--maybe even their own. (Summary from Goodreads)

I like the sound of this story line. I'm hoping for a big picture message rolled into the 24 hour adventure that these two main characters go on to grant wishes.

The Twixt series is INCREDIBLE! I love it. You should give it a try. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteGreat picks! I have a copy of All We Have is Now so I'll be reading it soon. It sounds great.

The first one sounds like it could be good, I haven't been reading a lot of contemporary though. I read the first The Twixt book, I enjoyed it but I never got around to reading the second one and I didn't realize there was going to be a third one! I hope you both enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteOh you should! The Twixt series is SO good! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI can't wait for All We Have Is Now -- that cover is so gorgeous! Great picks!
