Surfacing
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
In a postapocalyptic world, two students discover that the worst thing about searching for the truth is actually finding it. After a nuclear war has ravaged the planet, children of the few survivors are sent to renowned scientist Dr. Parkman and his underground facility, Parkman Institute of Science and Solutions, to learn, create, and test the latest technologies until they turn 18 and are sent back to the surface to help rebuild society. Balt and Zoe, 16-year-old students, have begun to realize something is amiss when Zoe is given a glimpse of an entirely different reality during a freak accident, one completely foreign to what Parkman has always. With the help of Balt and his midterm robotics project, the talkative head of an A.I. called Smith, the three devise a plan to escape the institute and travel through the ruins of the old labs to get to the surface. As they draw closer to their destination, they begin to see that their biggest threat might be each other. The old lab is full of secrets, and some answers are perhaps better left buried.

February 1, 2016
Gr 6-10-Twins Valentine and Malcolm moved to their grandmother's town, Emmett's Bluff, with their father after losing their mother to cancer. Both freshmen are understandably withdrawn but are doing far better than their author father, who stays mostly secluded. Mal is fascinated by a mysterious house across the street with no doors, and the town seems rife with strangeness: disappearances, deaths, and unexplained lightning storms that come and go unpredictably. When Mal investigates the strange house, he is attacked and threatened by a shadowed man and then finds a strange pocket watch on the ground. The tension escalates when the twins and some new friends go for a hike and end up injured in a surprise lightning storm. Val finds the pocket watch in Mal's room and discovers its time-traveling capabilities. But the mysterious man's identity and mission send the group (with some new allies) into a confrontation with extremely powerful forces. The action (and writing) seems slow to start, including characterizations. By the end of the novel, however, Dalton has found his stride, characters are fully realized, and the conclusion will leave readers wanting more. This is the first in a planned trilogy. VERDICT Sci-fi fans will gobble this one up and be waiting impatiently for the next.-Kelly Jo Lasher, Middle Township High School, Cape May Court House, NJ
