As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

When We Wake: While We Run by Karen Healey
When We Wake is book 1 and was excellent. Book 2 is just as suspenseful. The first part is the torture of our two young love birds who tried to make the world a safe place. Australia and the rest of the world is in an ecological disaster and resources are limited. Now government and military are involved in a dangerous and deadly venture. The girl who was brought back to life after over 100 years ago is wanted by everyone. This part of the story is told by Abdi who really just wants to go back to Somalia.
It's an intensely good read. Enjoy! There is some violence and torture. I think I am now a Karen Healey fan. She's from New Zealand. I've been to New Zealand & Australia and would go back in a flash. It's great to read stories from authors from all over the world.
