5.0 out of 5 stars The most touching book I've ever read, 21 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Phoenix Rising (Paperback)
A nuclear plant has exploded and people are afraid of getting radiation. Evacuees are everywhere, searching for help. The Trents are one of these. They are staying in Nyle Sumners home, a 13 year old girl who lives in a farm. At first, Nyle is wary of the 15 year old boy, Ezra. As time goes by however, they become friends and Nyle leads him back to health. They almost became more than friends before.....you find out. This book was the most touching book I've ever read. I cried so hard and couldn't stop. To people who haven't read this book yet, you have to! You won't regret it. People need a few good cries now and then. This is the best way to do it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another good one by Hesse, 21 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Phoenix Rising (Paperback)
Even though this book starts off kind of slow, it gets more interesting. Nyle knew she had to help Ezra, a boy her age who was poisioned with radiation, but she didn't want him to die like her mother and grandfather.

5.0 out of 5 stars A breath taking tale of how a girl lives with evacuees., 28 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Phoenix Rising (Paperback)
This book is about a 13 year old girl named Nyle who lives on a sheep farm with her grandmother. One day there was a nuclear power plant explosion and millions of people died. Just when she thought nothing could get worse, two evacuees move in with her. They were a mother and her 15 year old son-Ezra. Ezra was dying and had no hope, but with Nyle's help he gets back on his feet. At the end of this book, you'll never believe what happens. It is sad and you would have never guessed it would happen. I think this was one of the best books I've ever read and I will read it again soon.
