Empty / Suzanne Weyn


'Coming to a town near you' ...sounds promising doesn't it? But in this story  what arrives on everyone's doorsteps is the end of the world as we know it because there is no more fossil fuel. Suddenly there is little or no electricity and just getting enough to eat and drink fills up the day. Throw in some resourceful teenagers (Gwen and Tom) and you have an attention grabbing story that makes you want to buy a bike and instal solar panels, immediately!
 Although this story has a serious message you just have to keep on reading. Fortunately it also gives you hope that we can find a more sustainable way to live.

Who would enjoy this book? If you are interested in what the future might  be like then this is a thought-provoking and encouraging story.
