seaglasspoet 's review for:
Ashfall
by Mike Mullin
What I enjoyed the most about this book was how imaginiative the fallout of the Yellowstone erruption was portrayed in Mullins writing. Alex, the narrator of the book, and Darla are well developed characters and have to face numerous challenges as they work together to survive. As far as YA apocolyptic fiction goes, this one is a solid and engaging read.
This book would work well for the High School classroom. There are some mentions of sexuality incorporated into this read, which teachers should be aware of, however it is well handled and, while affording the opportunity to discuss difficult topics, doesn't cross the line on how the topic is handled.
