About the
book:
When
America attempts to "purify" earth to maintain its own dominance, it
sparks a worldwide nuclear holocaust. Teen friends Jessil and Soraj are among
the few survivors. They escaped on a cruiser that now orbits the planet and is
designed to help regenerate the earth's ecosystem. Soraj’s father leads the
regeneration process and is hopeful that he can salvage a region in North
America for the cruiser’s return.
But when
Jessil discovers a message indicating her own father may have survived the
holocaust back on earth, she’s determined to rescue him immediately with
Soraj's aid. Can they succeed even though the planet they return to is very
different from the one they left—and that their success could mean failure for
the regeneration process? (from Amazon)

My 5 point
review:
-1- This
book in the beginning reminded me of Wall-E but soon I realized that the Earth
was getting purified not coved in trash.
-2- This
story takes place in space and on the purified earth.
-3- Each place was had
wonderful descriptions of so I could actually visualized them.
-4- The
story end with resolving some conflicts but leaving the door open on others,
wonder if there might be second one.
-5- I
loved that the purified Earth adapted to the things that humans did to it.
