I love this book!!!!

I like smart because I like when he wins the jumping race and I also like when Hannah and Becky become friends, and I also like the part when they train Becky to have stormy go across some of the fences even though she is scared of the fence that has the yellow flower box she still jumps over it because becky knows that she can do it

Beautiful illustrations. Moving story with a twist at the end

Super quick read and really funny and sweet. If you want a great escape book, try this one out!

Twists and turns fill the book from the top to the very end. You won’t be able to put the book down when Avery Kylie Grambs inherits a whopping 46.2 billion dollar legacy in Tobias Hawthorne’s Will. For 16-year old Avery it is a huge shock. For Hawthorne’s family, it is a nightmare that they were left out of the Will so easily. Why was Avery chosen? Find out in the pages of this mystery, artfully crafted by Barnes and in the two sequels that finish this thrilling start to the trilogy!

I also wanted to love this book. It was an ambitious project, to weave an allegory based on the entire Bible, climate crisis, and End Times. I ended up feeling a little terrified (is that possible?), not so much by the apocalyptic events, but by the dynamic between the "wise" adolescents and the drugged/drunk/sex-crazed parents. The smug adolescents seemed just as unanchored morally, as they also dallied in drugs, sex, and drinking, although they were the "remnant" responsible for carrying on society post-storm. The book ended up with Eve (!) the main character, telling her brother he was right, Jesus is science and the Holy Ghost is the "things people make" or "art." The allegory and this conclusion felt altogether forced. I couldn't identity the Jesus character in this or understand how you can make an allegory of Christianity without the centrality of the cross or something cross-like? I'm not sure where I would have been located in this novel (which was a National Book Award Finalist). Maybe just swept out to sea with the other miscellaneous adult bodies. I accept that my generation added to the climate crisis and don't want to minimize this overarching idea. I also accept that the Bible gives believers responsibility for care of God''s world with His help. Maybe this is what allegory is meant to do, irritate us to action. After all, Jonathan Swift didn't really want people to eat babies.

This book was super funny and very adventurous I highly recommend this book. My favorite part of this book is when the narrator explains that he can not tell you anything about the characters and he says this in a really funny way.

An interesting thriller with twists and turns.
