After The Snow by S. D. Crockett
Mar. 9th, 2012 11:59 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Dad gone.
Magda gone.
The others gone.
But I don’t know why.
Tell me, Dog – what am I gonna do?
Living in the haunting and barren landscape of a new ice age, fiteen-year-old Willo is a straggler kid who loses his family in the opening pages of this story. Completely alone, he is immediately flung into an icy journey of survival, adventure, friendship and self-discovery – with only the dog spirit inside his head to guide him.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
S. D. Crockett’s debut YA novel is an ice-age dystopia with an original and stylised voice that just about makes up for a meandering and thin plot. I’d definitely check out her next book.
AFTER THE SNOW was released in the UK on 2nd February 2012. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the ARC of this book.
