Edge of Extinction, The Ark Plan was an exciting read. Do you like dinosaurs? This book has dinosaurs. Do you like survival stories? Check. How about nefarious governments lying to their citizens? Double check.
This energized book swings the readers through the adventures of compounder Sky Mundy who has only lived underground... until now. With her best friend and new acquaintance, Sky must complete a mission her father left for her five years ago. The only problem is to do so requires traveling through dinosaur infested lands.
The action is well written, the characters interesting and unique, and the sense of tension brings readers from start to finish at a steady pace. For the most part, the dialogue is realistic. Every once in a while there is a slip in the dialogue that made me think the characters aren't as bright as they're supposed to be, but it is to add to the humor, so I can't fault it at that. Waiting for the next book to find out what happens is going to be hard!
If you're a fan of Jurassic Park and dystopian futures, Edge of Extinction is for you.

This was a fun MG book that felt dystopian (I mean, it IS dystopian...) without being too grown-up or overly serious. The Jurassic Park-ness was cool and the characters were fun. I might read the 2nd one and will pass it on to my kiddos.

super cool concept, fun characters, and attention-grabbing action scenes. all in all, a memorable and really damn good book.
We enjoyed listening to this one. Definitely a lot of action that holds your attention.
We really like this. My only complaint is that the book ends but the story is clearly not finished. I have book 2 on order but there really was not a lot of wrap up in book one... It feels like waiting to finish rather than waiting to start the next in a series.

The ending was unsatisfying so only 3 stars for me. Nothing is really resolved in this book - obviously the setup for a series, most likely a trilogy, but there's a better way to go about it than ending the book without any real resolution.
The characters are interesting and so is the overall plot so I will be continuing to read the rest of the series.
