A review by librariann
The Comet's Curse by Dom Testa
2.0
Ages 10+
The earth is dooooomed! A ship full of fifteen and sixteen year olds might be only hope of a human race that is slowly dying from comet particle infection. (Yep.) But will an onboard threat halt their mission before it even gets out of the solar system?
Jinks' Living Hell is a better developed and more exciting PERIL IN SPACE! book, but it's also more suited to older readers. A good premise substitutes for good characterization; younger teen readers may enjoy these teenagers, but actual sixteen year olds will recognize them as impostors. But at best, it's a filler book that will fill the time until the next Rick Riordan/Suzanne Collins/Michael Grant comes out.
