The Day the Earth Turned Book Four: Spring by Chantelle Atkins

Synopsis:

The adults are all dead. Society has collapsed. As Mother Nature pursues her latest cull, the children of Heron Village are hanging on by a thread.

Traumatised by the reign of David, Gus, Chess and Charlotte enlist the help of a bigger and better organised group from London – a group who want to rebuild the world the way it was before.

When David is dethroned, it seems fresh hope arrives with the spring – yet they have not found his body. Is he still out there?

Reuben remains suspicious of the London groups intentions and is becoming more animal in nature. Is his the only way forward? And as spring breaks and the snow thaws, a brand new world lies on the horizon…

Review:

Fourth and final instalment in the series and what an ending. I just want more – I have all these questions in my head that I need answer to.

The world the author built in this series is one of fear, hope, cruelly and friendships, world full of two sides of a coin. Survival is of the utmost importance, but it needs to be a survival of the future. Some believe Mother Nature has had enough and has finally taken back what’s hers, giving humanity the biggest warning of their generation, killing almost every adult human and passing the world to younger generations in hope they built a new world that lives in harmony with nature.

The last book takes off where we finished, with Reuben at the edge of death, and the Heron kids fighting against David, the only adult alive. But that seems to be the easy part. Next comes the group from London, trying to restore the old world of justice, politics, money and mass farming. And Reuben is the only one who can try and convince them this is not the right path to take.

I absolutely swallowed up this book and thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. It’s one big warning to us all.

Thank you to TBConFB and the author for access to this book.
