4.0

What happens when the some kind of solar flare knocks out the power, then the tech, then the world as we know it? And our heroes are stranded on a different hawaiian island than they call home, while dealing with epilepsy? This book happens. I found it compulsively readable despite the really odd twist and it's a fab adventure for survivally inclined teens who aren't interested in romance.

Other fantastic features: Aslan does a great job weaving Hawaiian culture throughout the story and emphasizing it's huge importance to Leilani. I love that our strong main character has epilepsy and deals with it and finds ways to cope.
