How would you feel if you were in Scarlett Fisher? Celebrating
her 15th birthday with her dad and his family at a
baseball game. When all the sudden you think the man behind you is so drunk and
worried about your half siblings. Repeating over and over again the same thing,
“Foul Ball!” Her dad was getting worried about his family as well as other fans
around them over this guys’ outburst. Then all of the sudden the man falls over
dead and these plants come shooting out of his nose and mouth. A puff of a
cloud she thought was smoke. Scarlett was not sure or her family. Then all
around them more people were going delirious. Then falling over and plants of
some kind came shooting out of them. Scarlett’s family rushing to leave as
everyone else to get back to the safety of home.
Getting home and doing what was
suggested by taping all the windows and any way for whatever this was out. But,
then Scarlett is worried as well about her mom and sister calling them. Only to
one moment hear them and later receiving a message of don’t come here. Then her
Dad and his family. Her best friend and her family. But, not her. Why not her?
What was happening to everyone?
Why all of the sudden were homes bursting into flames. Scarlett not really
knowing what to do after her own family dies. She gets some supplies from her
dad’s home. then, she heads for her friends’ home only to a short time later
the whole family dies. She takes her friend’s parents car even though she has
no idea how to drive. But, she gets out of there and fast. Scarlett just kept
on driving till she was clear of the town she knew so well.
Coming into an area Scarlett knew
she had to get more supplies. She spots a sporting goods store. Perfect. For
what she had was barely enough for one or two days. She heads for it and
trouble. This is where her adventure really gets started. Will Scarlett meet
more like her not effect by this virus. That they were calling it before no one
else was transmitting the air waves? She does meet others and not on so
friendly terms. What do they want?
Well, this is a well written book
by Richard Levensque. Thought the way it started here we go again another
apocalypse type book. Don’t get me wrong love apocalyptic books. However, this
had a different twist on it. From a young girl’s point of view. A virus.
Where did it come from? Warfare, an experiment that went wrong and got out. It
was not hard to envision the plants exploding out of the bodies of people. For
the narrator LC Kane was exceptionally great at conveying the feelings of
Scarlett. A narration within a narration. Richard wrote the fear of the ones
effected, the dread on their faces as they watch others die only to do the
same. LC Kane conveyed it. The fear of Scarlett when she delivers a baby. Why
she was only 15, how in the world is she going to deliver this baby? When she
hadn’t been on a date yet! How when Scarlett comes across the bad guy! Yes, you
know that there will be the bad guy. How her and the other capturers plan their
escape. It was a standalone read. So no worries if you are afraid this is it
and you will be left hanging. He does end it with an update in future years. Is
it just Scarlett or did they all survive? Something you will have to listen for
yourself.
LC Kanes performance of Scarlett
was really good. She had the perfect voice for a young girl. She does the
accents well for a couple of the characters and okay for Chad with that young
male voice. Setting aside the voices, it was the performance of the book that
brought Richard’s story to life. The drama of the scenes from the fear, anger
and concern in her voice for the characters. I will look forward to other books
narrated by LC Kane.
