This story is about the future. The earth is dying because ozone is breaking. But people can live in the earth because of the artificial ozone layer(AOL). The AOL is good for a thousand years. But Kiah realizes the AOL is breaking. Kiah tries to talk with several people about it. But.....

I think it is easy for me to understand this story and this story is interesting. I can imagin the future of the earth. But I don't understand the ending. If you like SF, you will enjoy reading this story! ( )

This story is the story of the earth after 500 years.
Destruction of the ozone layer was being man-made.
People to save the planet, trying to repair the ozone layer.

This is science fiction story.
I think this story is closed a little too unrealistic.
So it is difficult for me to empathy.
But this story is very interesting. ( )

Now the sun is burning doen on Earth with a white fire.
In a colony under the moon,There is a new home.

I thought that the end was sad.

On the planet Earth cannot live without heat and light from the sun.
Around the erath,there is the ozone layer,which protects us from the sun's fire.But today there are small holes in it,and they may get bigger and bigger. In 2222,people made the AOL.It is the Artificail Ozone Layer.It makes the earth beautiful. But this book is 2522.So AOL is breaking up....what's happen??????

I was very very excited.And I could understand importance of Ozone Layer.We have to protect it.This book is fantasic but also telling importance. ( )
