| Midnight at the Electric by Jodi Lynn AndersonA puzzling old postcard and a very elderly tortoise are only two of the many connections between three teen girls in this genre-blending story. In 2065 Kansas, orphan Adri Ortiz trains to become a Mars colonist since she has no emotional ties on Earth; on the same Kansas farm in 1934, Catherine Goodspeed tries to help her family survive the deadly Dust Bowl; and in 1919 England, Lenore Allstock mourns her brother's death in World War I while writing to a distant friend. Told through diaries and letters, this "thought-provoking, lyrical novel" (Booklist) offers memorable characters and a riveting, intertwining plot. |
