This is a wonderful and compelling story about the social classes of everyday life that I believe everyone can enjoy at any age. The plot presents an interesting concept of social and physical survival. Their journey of self-discovery makes a fascinating read, with dark social undertones. The most exceptional part of Cole's story is not how they survive physically, but how they survive mentally and emotionally. Oddly, while the adventures of the two young teenagers are not truly realistic, the entire book is completely believable. I think this would be a great book for young adults to read and discuss in school.
