A review by blueluz
Earthbound by Aprilynne Pike
4.0
Tavia was orphaned by a plane accident. Somehow, miraculously, Tavia survived the crash. Since then she has been living with her aunt and uncle in Portsmouth.
Everything seems to be going okay until Tavia starts seeing things. There is this mysterious boy she has never met and strange glowing signs. She thinks she’s just seeing things until she suddenly learns something that could be potentially actually dangerous and life-threatening.
So Tavia and Benson, her friend from the Portsmouth library, make a run for it. They head towards Maine and, hopefully, some answers and maybe even help.
I thought the idea of this novel was rather original. The idea that people can create something from nothing and that the things they create last for five minutes before disappearing is new to me.
This novel kept me intrigued. I don’t want to say too much and give anything away. Suffice it to say that I kept turning the pages and picked up the sequel as soon as I finished Earthbound.
