Resumen del Editor

From the bestselling author of RESTART, the story of a middle-school "band of brothers"—five friends who need to stick together after they set up a hideout in an abandoned bomb shelter and discover that the only way to be true friends is to reveal their secrets and help each other out.

The morning after Hurricane Leo rips through the town of Canaan, residents awaken to widespread destruction—power outages, downed branches, uprooted trees, broken windows and damaged roofs. Four eighth-grade friends—Evan, Jason, Mitchell, and CJ—meet to explore the devastation. The tight-knit group is dismayed to find that Evan has brought along a stray—Ricky, who is new to their town and school, and doesn’t have any friends yet.

Ricky is the one to find the strange trap door that’s appeared in the middle of the woods—the door to an old bomb shelter, unearthed by the hurricane. Inside, the boys find a completely intact underground lair, complete with electricity, food, and entertainment (in the form of videocassettes). The boys vow to keep the place’s existence to themselves.

Things soon get tense. Some bad locals keep snooping around. And what started out as a fun place to escape soon becomes a serious refuge for one of the kids who is trying to avoid an abusive home situation. In order to save the shelter, the friends must keep its secret... and in order to save themselves, they’re going to have to share their individual secrets, and build the safest place they can.

I was not expecting it to be so deep.

the characters were well developed and I couldn't help but care for each of them

The kindness

I like The friendship I do not like the ending of the book It was

The best book

I loved it and I will be taking a at test on it they should make a Second one

My 2nd favorite book

I love this book, if you have not read/listened to this book yet, i just wanted to clarify the main charter is CJ and not Evan, anyway i love this book sooooo much!!! there is mystery and a small touch of violence, and it does have a kid with OCD in it, just a heads up because it might make you feel bad if it has misinformation, back to the book i love how long the book is, and low cost for what it is. i reccamend this book to 8+ just because of the violence. if your wondering what my favorite book is it is Resart another great book from my favorite author Gordan Korman!!!! :) read/listen now!!! you won't regret it.

Great book,

It’s a great book, and I love the secrecy and the characters. I love this book.

When the bully jaiger stabbed Marcus and everybody just started going against jaiger it was the most exciting part!🤩🤩

I liked EVERYTHING🫥🫥 it was awesome. (These words in the parenthesis are pointless it’s just to fill in the fifteen word minimum policy.)

5 STAR

This book was incredible I loved it so much. I definitely recommend this one

Excellent Middle Grade Story

I bought this for a road trip with my 13 year old grandson, and I honestly don’t know which of us enjoyed it more.

Each of the characters was dealing with their own real life issues, but that wasn’t the focus of the story. The book was actually about friendship and different types of “family,” and the joy of discovering a secret bomb shelter in the woods and being able to make it into a much needed fort.

The book was good, the audio version was good, and I highly recommend it to … well, just about anyone who is 11-15, or who has EVER been 11-15.

Stunning

I love everything about this book. It brings to mind issues you’d rather not think about, all while weaving a riveting story which I finished far faster than I wanted to. You truly get to empathize with the characters, and also feel the excitement of having a fort like no other. My only wish is there was more character development it mitchel, but otherwise I very much recommend.

A summer must

This book was amazing from start to finish the va's outdid themselves great writing!
