Description
Juvenile Fiction. Juvenile Literature. Science Fiction. Suspense. The dome keeps the colony safe. Life on the planet isn't possible outside of the dome. Or at least, that's what thirteen-year-old Flossy has always been told. But one day, within the raging storms on the other side of the clear wall, she notices lights glimmering in the distance. Figures seem to move through the dusty red landscape. Now Flossy has to ask-what really lies beyond the dome?Member Reviews
I can't tell if this book ends on a moral of "don't disobey your parents" or more "don't trust anything that looks perfect". The final line in the "after credits" if you will is about isolation and hallucinating, and in many ways this book comes off as a hallucination.
Though that is not a bad thing. The idea of creating a perfect little place and not letting criminals stay in it isn't a new idea. It's been tried before, and where better would it be to get executed than in space where having an offender among the populi is a problem. Of course, true to most systems, it's corrupt and extreme what someone will be cast out over.
A Hole in the Dome ends ambiguously after a hundred-and-seven pages, and it could be the end or the beginning for show more Florence's outside life. In many ways, that is absolute horror to think about. show less
