This was a great middle grade book that kept me interested throughout. But, I do love dinosaurs and dystopian worlds.
Perfect for middle grade readers. The only problem is that the books ends abruptly without any resolution. You have to read the second book to understand the story ark.
There are scenes that are particularly violent. Guns pointed at children. Innocent people shot and killed. I’m not sure that this book is appropriate for kids 8-12. Maybe if they already play Fortnight, they’d be used to it?

Good book. I would highly recommend as a read-aloud for families with kids between 8-14. We enjoyed it,as we typically do dystopian books. However, it ends abruptly. Have the second book ready to go.
Oregon Battle of the Books Challenge Book #2
2.5/5 stars.
Not my favorite thing. I would have NEVER picked this book up if I were not reading for this challenge. I did enjoy aspects of it, however, it wasn’t really my thing. I will definitely buy a copy for my classroom though! I think that some of my students would really enjoy it.
