I also liked that she isn’t a petty shallow character, but is a girl who is already thinking for herself before the crisis happens. She is an amazingly well developed character and I found her to have a unique voice that immediately pulls you into the story. Her characters are engaging and believable. I felt like I was walking outside in the bitter colds of the arctic. Pike has a very lush and dynamic language that made it very easy to escape into her story, specifically when describing the cold. However all of this is only the beginning of “strange new occurrences” for Tavia and before long she and Benson, her library boy, are fleeing from her aunt and uncle. Things are starting to go back to normal – whatever that is – until Tavia starting seeing a mystery boy who is dressed in clothes dating back to the 1800?s. On the plus side, she met a cute boy at the library who seems to be the only one pulling her out of her haze of grief and recovery. She lost both of her parents and is now just trying to piece her life back together. Tavia is hiding-out with her aunt and uncle after being the only survivor of plane crash. Aprilynne Pike’s latest novel Earthbound is a fantastic beginning to what is sure to be a great series.
