Synopsis
He
prepared their family for every natural disaster known to man—except for the
one that struck.
When
Nicole Reed’s father forces her family to move to a remote area of the Sierra
Foothills, one without any modern conveniences, it's too much too handle for
her mother, who abandons them in the middle of the night. Heading out to track
her down, Nicole’s father leaves her in charge of taking care of the house and
her younger sister, Izzy. For a while, Nicole is doing just fine running things
on her own. But then the food begins to run out, the pipes crack, and forest
fires start slowly inching their way closer every day. Wolf, a handsome boy
from the neighboring community, offers to help her when she needs it most, but
when she starts to develop feelings for him, feelings she knows she will never
be allowed to act on once her father returns, she must make a decision. With
her family falling apart, will she choose to continue preparing for tomorrow’s
disasters, or will she take a chance and really start living for today?
Instructions
for the End of the World is a gripping, young adult novel that explores family,
friendship, and love in the midst of the most difficult and dangerous
circumstances.
