![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As a survivor myself of an ocean storm that flooded an island (No Name of 1991), I could relate too well to this story.Īlthough the storm results in tragedy, Kephart's outlook on humanity is sunny. I read most of the book in one afternoon, flipping the pages anxiously and shivering as a storm raged outside my own house. It's more plot-driven and faster paced with the storm acting like a character in itself, a merciless antagonist threatening Mira and her friends. Of the eight books I've read by Beth Kephart (my review index), This Is the Story of You is the most accessible to a general audience. If that weren't scary enough, a mysterious intruder is lurking outside, and without power or cellular service, Mira can't call for help. As the storm rages and the sea floods their beachside cottage, Mira must decide what to save and how to stay alive. Earlier that day, her single mom had driven her disabled brother to the mainland hospital for emergency treatment. When a storm cuts off an island from the Jersey Shore, 17-year-old Mira must fight for survival with only a stray cat for company. This is a Story of You is a modern parable of the horrors of climate change. ![]()
