What this book is about
Four teenagers — the jock, the overachiever, the slacker, and the outcast — are thrown together when an asteroid may be on a collision course with Earth. What would you do with two months? Wallach's YA novel is a serious examination of what values mean when the future is gone, with a darker, more honest ending than typical YA. The four perspectives are distinct and the philosophical questions genuine.
