Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A plague from space kills everyone on Earth over about 15 years of age. The book follows a group of surviving children on a small isolated island. It is an interesting concept that would have potential in the hands of a better writer. Cramer's writing is unimaginative and juvenile, which is the greatest weakness of the book. It is the first book in a trilogy. Perhaps the other books are better, but after this one i was not inclined to devote the time to reading them. I was given the opportunity to read this for free in exchange for an honest review from librarything.com. I just finished reading the first 2 books of this trilogy back to back, and I am hooked!!! Fast paced, depressing, hopeful, almost every emotion that you could possibly feel I felt while reading this. I cannot wait to read the conclusion to this series!!! I received this book as a give away as part of a compilation [Shattered Worlds]. I have decided to give each book it's own review as I finish them to give the authors their due. I really enjoyed {The Night of the Purple Moon] by [Scott Cramer]. It was well written and kept up a good pace. It was very similar to other YA dystopian novels out there but I would gladly recommend it to my students who enjoy this genre. It starts with the world awaiting the arrival of a comet. The Earth will end up in the tail and the dust is supposed to turn the moon purple. Unfortunately the dust contains something else as well. The humanity of the younger generations, as well as their ability to survive, is about to be tested. How the world would go on was up to them. no reviews | add a review

My Review:This book is great! i was hooked from the started and was on the edge of my seat for the majority of the story!
Comet passes over and releases a deadly pathogen into the air and kills everyone over puberty age! Great! :]
I loved how it showed so far into the future and how they were dealing. It really could've easily be a 400 page book!!! ( )
