A page-turning thriller about kids caught in the harrowing throes of Christ's rapture. It was interesting, and whenever I found myself drifting away from it when I thought of the book's premise I grabbed it and started flipping through. We meet Vicki, the rebel in a trailer park who smokes and drinks to escape her family's sudden Christianity, Lionel, the skeptic with a quite un-Christian uncle in a house full of them, and Judd, the disobedient kid who flees from his parents in pursuit of wide-eyed freedom, and Ryan, the little kid with a Christian friend who has no clue what's going on. I'm excited to read the next books from here on out! So glad to find a book that can point me to Christ whilst reading it.
