And there was something intriguing about reading a story where you had no idea what was around the next bend of the road. Although this story was dark, it was not depressing and had a hopeful ending. The two decide to travel to the ships together, and so begins their adventure. Presuming his brother dead, Franklin befriends the only other survivor of the town, a woman who was banished to a sick house high over the town to either recover from her illness or die. In the morning when Jackson has not returned, Franklin heads to town to search for him, only to find all the people and animals in it have mysteriously died in the night. The younger brother Franklin has injured himself, and it is decided he will stay on the hill outside the town while older brother Jackson heads to town to obtain supplies and arrange passage across the river. At the beginning of this book they arrive in Ferrytown, which serves as a crossroads for people heading to the ships. Two brothers head east toward the ocean, where there are ships that take people to Europe, supposedly where living conditions are much better. The story begins in an unfamiliar America that seems to have regressed to a pre-industrialized age. Interesting story, and the writing was excellent.

All of her memories of her family, from hang-outs in the kitchen, to games in the backyard and even a year of street sign-specific vandalism are flawlessly happy. From the very beginning of the novel, we know that Charlie holds all of her siblings and her parents on the highest of pedestals. All of the Grant siblings are coming home for the ceremony and Charlie is desperate for one last perfect weekend together before her parents sell their house, before she goes to college, and everything changes.Īnd Charlie does mean perfect. The book opens on the weekend of Charlie's sister Linnie's wedding. That's why I relate so much to Charlie Grant, the heroine in Morgan Matson's new book Save the Date, who is about as nostalgic a person as you can be. Those simple days of watching a new episode of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers after school, playing with my Skip-It, and never having to worry about Twitter trolls or Instagram likes loom large in mind as "the good old days."

While I’d like to have written it (and will likely eventually write at least one myself), I fully trusted Tali and the story they wanted to tell. The book is written by Tali Inlow, not me. We’d have liked to have had it to you sooner, but between Covid, the world being…the world, and the fact that we really wanted to get this book right, it took us a minute.
