I have mixed feelings about this book. It was a frightening scenario with a realistic chain of events caused by Mother Nature. There were some likeable characters, especially among the young children. But they were kids looking after each other and making crucial survival decisions and I had trouble accepting that they were able to protect themselves so effectively from the chemical exposure even though they experienced some consequences from it. It takes place over a period of 12 days mostly cut off from the outside world with little news of events. It doesn't quite tie up all the loose ends, but wraps up with a sense of hope.
