About this product
Product Information
What would you do if every spark of electricity suddenly vanished, as if somebody had flipped a switch on the entire planet? Cars won't start, the heat shuts off, there's no water in your faucet, and your radio, TV, and flashlight go dark. Everyone in Charlie's small town is baffled. But as time passes, lawlessness erupts and takes an ugly turn. When the market and pharmacy are torched by an anti-Semitic arsonist, Charlie realizes his mother will die without her medicine. So he dons skis and heads off alone, seeking the nearest hospital. After traveling 50 miles through brutal ice and snow, Charlie encounters a burned-out, looted city of terrified citizens. Will he be able to save his mom? Heroic, eloquent, and unforgettable, The Big Dark raises timely questions about responsibility, tolerance, and love.

Praise for Zane and the Hurricane 2015-2016 Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List *"Vivid descriptions of the toxic waters, the commotion at the Superdome, and racial tension are handled factually yet sensitively." -- School Library Journal , starred review *"An appropriately serious and occasionally gruesome tale of surviving Hurricane Katrina, buoyed by large doses of hope and humor."-- Kirkus Reviews , starred review *"Zane's first-person account is tense and authentically youthful as the group paddles through the flooded streets of New Orleans seeking refuge." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review Praise for The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg A Newbery Honor Book *"The horror of war and injustice of slavery ring clearly above the din of playful exaggerations." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review, Praise for The Big Dark "The depiction of a world gone suddenly dark is both terrifying and completely possible. Philbrick's overarching message is clear. While ruthless villains might be living next door, so might a school janitor-turned-selfless leader and a boy-turned-hero.... a riveting, credible, and even inspiring vision of life just after the apocalypse." -- Kirkus Reviews "Philbrick is in his element with this kid-oriented view of global catastrophe. Charlie's world is brimming with danger, yet he single-mindedly accepts his mission to save his mother, since, for him, the threat of wild animals is overshadowed by the menace of frightened human beings. With a fast pace, pulse-pounding premise, and approachable first-person narration, this would be a great pick for reluctant readers." -- Booklist "Philbrick ( Zane and the Hurricane ) weaves an absorbing tale about the breakdown of contemporary civilization, the return to chaotic vigilante justice, and the strength of kindness and community." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Zane and the Hurricane 2015-2016 Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List * "Vivid descriptions of the toxic waters, the commotion at the Superdome, and racial tension are handled factually yet sensitively." -- School Library Journal , starred review * "An appropriately serious and occasionally gruesome tale of surviving Hurricane Katrina, buoyed by large doses of hope and humor."-- Kirkus Reviews , starred review * "Zane's first-person account is tense and authentically youthful as the group paddles through the flooded streets of New Orleans seeking refuge." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review Praise for The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P.

I ordered 2 books from this seller; this one was exactly as described and in good condition. The other is even better, but covered in other feedback. I would say that this seller's books are in better condition than other online used bookstores for the same price. The books were well wrapped, again better than other online used bookstores. Shipping was free which is always a plus. The books came quickly considering sometimes roads are closed due to high winds here. Very happy with purchase!
