An exciting dystopian action and adventure, that features romance, action and adventure for a young and New Adult audience.Early praise for the Doomsday Kids:"This book is the bomb (terrible, ironic pun intended)!""The characters were diverse and stretched across genders, ages, races, body types and personalities. I cared about every single one of them in their own way and I liked that they didn't all instantly get along. These kids bickered and argued like real kids. They were bonded, but not cliche besties.""I don't usually go for YA dsytopian novels, but this book grabbed me from the first scene and kept me turning pages. I had to know what happened to these kids. Great, fast-paced story!"
