First Light

I'm officially a big Rebecca Stead fan. I LOVE [b:When You Reach Me 5310515 When You Reach Me Rebecca Stead https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1386923343s/5310515.jpg 6608018] so much I taught it in a middle school book club, which of course made me love it even more. I saw First Light on CD in my library and checked it out instantly.The plotlines and settings in this book are fascinating to me, though Thea's plot read like a fairly generic dystopian story. It's obvious everything is going to come together in the end, though I didn't catch onto how until it was practically upon me. I didn't find it as satisfying as When You Reach Me but I still really enjoyed it.Recommended to young high schoolers who want to explore some not-too-technical science fiction.
