Description
Holes meets The City of Ember in this imaginative, captivating, and humorous middle grade novel from New York Times bestselling adult author Michael Perry. When the world started to fall apart, the government gave everyone two choices: move into the Bubble Cities...or take their chances outside. Twelve-year-old Maggie and her family chose the latter. They live in the world that was left behind. Deciding it's time to grow up and grow tough, Maggie rechristens herself "Ford Falcon"-a name taken from the beat-up car she finds at a nearby junkyard. This is where Ford's family goes to scavenge for things they can use and barter with. Thus far, they have been able to survive this brave new world by working together. But when Ford returns one day to discover her home ransacked and her family missing, she must find the strength to survive on her own and rescue her loved ones. This wholly original tween novel combines a page-turning adventure, heartfelt family story, and triumphant journey of self-discovery. With Scavengers, Michael Perry achieves the perfect mix of humor and heart in a world where one person's junk is another person's key to survival.

        Gr 3-7-Maggie has been learning to survive Outbubble with her parents and little brother. People who live Outbubble (as opposed to Underbubble) have to fend for themselves with scary genetically mutated animals, gangs of outlaws, and no electricity. The government controls the Underbubble, providing its people with food and safety. Maggie will have to pick up skills in order to survive and protect her family. This will only be possible with the help of her friend Toad. This tween dystopian story brings the listener along on a journey with Maggie, who's renamed Ford Falcon. While Maggie's living situation is hard and sometimes dangerous, the overall theme of the story is hopeful. Sandy Rustin narrates with a flair that sends a powerful message about the importance of family. Male and female students alike will love to listen to the adventures of Ford Falcon and her family Outbubble. VERDICT This is a fine choice for students who already love dystopian literature or those who are just getting started with it.-Jessica Gilcreast, Bedford High School, NH
