The way in which the kids form an organized society is very impressive without seeming implausible. The pacing was spot-on, and I became engrossed in the Castine Island survivors’ efforts to stay alive as they waited for a cure. This is exactly what happens to Abby Leigh and her siblings, twelve-year-old Jordan and two-year-old Toucan (real name: Lisette), though, and the ensuing story of survival kept me glued to the page. It’s hard to imagine waking up the morning after watching a comet streak through the sky and finding out that all of the adults have died. Review: Night of the Purple Moon is a harrowing dystopian novel that is both inspiring and heartbreaking. They can only hope that a cure becomes available before they enter adolescence themselves and fall victim to the pathogens, too. Abby and her brother Jordan must band together with the other remaining kids on the island and find a way to survive without the grown-ups. Germs in the space dust attack the hormones of anyone who has gone through puberty, decimating Earth’s adult population. The comet’s space dust does indeed create a violet moon and sky, but it also produces unforeseen, and devastating, consequences. To Sum It Up: Like everyone else on Castine Island, a small community in Maine, thirteen-year-old Abby Leigh is anticipating the comet that is supposed to turn the moon purple. * A copy was provided by the author for review.
