While it was very dark for a middle grade novel (possibly the darkest middle grade book I’ve read in my entire life), the message of this book is vital and powerful. Full of kids forced to grow up too fast and characters trying to do their best during the end of the world, this book still brings a little light when everything is shrouded in chaos and how the people we surround ourselves with can get us through the darkest moments.
