Midnight at the Electric by Jodi Lynn Anderson

4.0

This book was really three interwoven and connected stories, one set in 2065 about a teen preparing to travel to Mars and a budding colony there, another told through a journal and a series of letters from the 1930s dust bowl, and the last series of letters from England, just after World War I. The dust bowl parts were straight up terrifying because in addition to the horrendous drought, the dust itself can literally kill you, quickly or slowly, buried alive in an instant or coughing to death over a period of years.
