The world will end on Thursday, July 27, 2000. At least, that's what Reverend Beelson has told his congregation. Marina's mom believes him. So does Jed's dad. That's why they drag Marina and Jed to join the reverend's flock at a mountain retreat. From the mountaintop they will all watch the Righteous Conflagration that will end this world--and then they will descend and begin the world anew.

Told in alternating chapters from both Jed's and Marina's points of view, this first-ever collaboration between two masters of children's literature is a story about faith and friendship, love and loss . . . and the things that matter most at the End of the World.

5 Cassettes, 6.5hrs As the end of the millennium approaches, a religious group moves to a mountain top in Massachussetts to await the end of the world. The Believers, sure of salvation want to be read to begin God's new order. Arageddon Summer is a gripping chronicle of their vigil written by two teenage members of the group: Jed and Marina. At first, the Believers are absorbed in joyous preparations. But as the anticipated date approaches, their activities become more ominous. Barbed-wire fencing and guns appear. Living condition in the camp begin to deteriorate. Drawn together, Jed and Marina struggle with doubts about their strictly regimented lives. In this unforgettable work, two of today's most popular authors of young adult fiction offer a realistic exploration of cult dynamics. The absorbing dual narration traces Jed and Marina's growing friendship as they try to understand the Believers' increasingly militant stance.
