A meteor strike sends Wyman Ford on a mission of discovery
while it sparks a flame of greed in Abbey.
Ford discovers that radioactive jewels are not the problem while Abbey
discovers that things are not what they seem.
Ford is a mysterious figure that has ties to the CIA and
seems very competent. The Abbey
character shows a lot of growth and in some ways this is a coming of age for
her in this book. A child of color in a
lily white community, Abbey is frustrated and feels misunderstood. Her personal growth in the book is just shy
of being miraculous. However just as convection
oven bakes faster, if you subject a bright directionless teen to lots of stress
and pressure they can collapse or grow faster.
Abbey grows faster.
I recommend the book.
