The World Ends in April is an AWESOME book! It also helps that it is written by my favorite author, Stacy McAnulty. It is about a girl named Eleanor Dross, who only has one friend- Mack. Mack is a boy who is blind. Ele’s grandpa is a preppier. A preppier is someone who prepares for the end of the world. He has been preparing Ele and her siblings for the end of the world since they could walk. So when he heard that Ele found a website predicting the end of the world, he got real excited. Ele’s dad doesn’t really like that their grandpa takes them out of the house to practice for an alien invasion. Ele plans not to tell anyone about the end of the world, (after all, what friends will she save?) but Mack tells everyone that will listen. Ele starts a club called the Nature Club, but it is really a survival club. A girl named Londyn joins the club, (a girl who Ele claims she tried to take her head off with a basketball) and makes Ele use a water purifier and drink toilet water. If you want to know what happens in Ele’s last couple months until TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it) read the book. I think you will like this book if you liked The Miscalculations of Lighting Girl.
The World Ends in April
By Stacy McAnulty
Is middle school drama scarier than an asteroid heading for Earth? Find out in this smart and funny novel by the author of The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl.
Every day in middle school can feel like the end of the world.
Eleanor Dross knows a thing or two about the end of the world, thanks to a survivalist grandfather who stockpiles freeze-dried food and supplies--just in case. So when she reads about a Harvard scientist's prediction that an asteroid will strike Earth in April, Eleanor knows her family will be prepared. Her classmates? They're on their own!
Eleanor has just one friend she wants to keep safe: Mack. They've been best friends since kindergarten, even though he's more of a smiley emoji and she's more of an eye-roll emoji. They'll survive the end of the world together . . . if Mack doesn't go away to a special school for the blind.
But it's hard to keep quiet about a life-destroying asteroid--especially at a crowded lunch table--and soon Eleanor is the president of the (secret) End of the World Club. It turns out that prepping for TEOTWAWKI (the End of the World as We Know It) is actually kind of fun. But you can't really prepare for everything life drops on you. And one way or another, Eleanor's world is about to change.
