Reseña del editor:

Rylie Kirklen is starting her sophomore year of high school. As she does every August, she buys a new journal to record her life, this year choosing a beautiful book, bound in red leather and filled with 300 cream-colored pages. And she begins to write. Like every other year, she records her thoughts about friends, classes, and crushes. She writes about her cross country injury, and about the power going out one night and never coming back on. And she writes about burying her best friend’s mother in the backyard, and about smashing an intruder’s skull with a crystal apple, and about wishing that her parents, who have been missing for weeks, would finally come home. She writes about all of the exciting things teenagers keep in their journals while the world is going to hell. Be warned! Menace lurks in the pages of Rylie’s journal as her world descends into darkness, and you never know what may be waiting just around the corner after the sun goes down.

Reseña del editor:

High school student and obsessive journal writer Rylie Kirklen is having a difficult sophomore year. A heavy load of classwork, overly competitive friends and a serious sports injury have made the first weeks of school a living hell. She finally gets the chance to relax by herself for a few days when her parents leave to celebrate their anniversary in Key West, but even that respite is cut short when the lights go out one night. What begins with a quiet candlelit evening deteriorates into a desperate situation for Rylie’s community as the power stays off for weeks. Resources and information run short while rumors abound, and her circumstances are worsened as her parents remain absent long after they were expected home. A complete breakdown of public services makes for a very harsh world when people who are used to the comforts of modern society try to survive a new, lawless reality. Rylie discovers for herself the dangers of a populace in despair as she fends off attackers, buries friends, and takes a daring road trip through a treacherous urban landscape in an effort to find help. With her parents missing and the world she once knew crumbling around her, Rylie chronicles her struggle to navigate the boundary between her comfortable past and an uncertain dystopian tomorrow.
