Good Choice Reading: The Emerald Talisman audio book tour

TOP 5: Must Have Gadgets For An End of the World Emergency

I know my answers are pretty boring, but being a mom, I take this topic very seriously and I hate it when I’m not prepared.

1. Non perishable food with a can opener

2. Solar powered energy source (so I can plug things into it)

3. Water

4. Matches

5. Axe

This topic made me think of Hunger Games and what I’d want in the arena. Where we live in California, there isn’t crazy weather or are we a threat for earthquakes, but one could never be entirely safe from disaster. With hurricane Sandy I’m thinking we need to be more prepared. I actually made a list of things this week I think we should stock up on and it included far more things on it than this.

To be normal, sixteen-year-old Julia Parker would shed her empathic gift in a second. Life has been difficult since her mother's mysterious disappearance ten years earlier - an event she witnessed, but can't remember. Julia's situation becomes more complicated after a near death experience from a blood thirsty stalker. As high school students go missing it is clear there is a connection to her own experience--past and present. Someone has to stop the madness and a chance encounter with a creepy psychic foretells that only Julia is the key to stopping the madness, but it may require the life of the one she loves.
