Summary: PHOENIX RISING
Comment: Phoenix Rising is one book I just couldn't put down. It had so much detail. I could almost feel what the character was feeling. This book was sad at some points and happy. It was mostly sad, but it was still good. When a nuclear power plant has an explosion radiation goes everywhere. Nyle, this girl that lives on a sheep, thinks that nothing else could go wrong than having evacuees at her house. The evacuees are a mother and a 15 year old boy named Ezra. Ezra is very sick and everybody thinks he going to die, but he gets better. At the end something happens that nobody would expect. The end is the saddest of all. I loved this book so much. I would recommend it to anyone. If they don't like sad books I think they will start reading them after they read this one.

Summary: great book-definantly recommend it to everyone
Comment: Pheonix Rising is a great book. I would recommend it to everyone. The fight between life and death kept me reading. What would you do if one day everything is fine, then the next day every one was wearing masks, and people were dying from radiation poisoning just from going outside! Nyle is forced to cope with these conditions. Along with radiation, Nyle has to deal with Ripley, a mean bully who only teases Nyle and Muncie. Muncie is Nyle's best friend. She is deformed, so she is usually the target of discrimination. Nyle is angry at the people who worked at the nuclear power plant. That is how it all started. The plant exploded, and sent radiation all over. She is also angry at the evacuees, who got in critical condition from radiation inhalation. Then, two evacuees are sent to her house with her Grandma (Nyles mom died from cancer, and her dad left right before she died because he couldn't bear to see her die). It was her Grandma's idea. How will Nyle get through will all this? Read Pheonix Rising by Karen Hesse to find out!

Summary: Jesse James's review
Comment: I would say this was the second best book I read. It includes drama, action, and is very informational. It has great falling and rising action. The book is fiction, but has non-fiction events. The book has a great climax. The characters really interact and help each other stay alive and fight the radiation. The book tells about what radiation can really do to you and the enviroment. The book really makes you think about it and puts images in your mind. Friendships fall apart and reunite. The book shows how hard it is to get through life. The accident at cookshire causes Erza to get radiation sickness. Nyle and Gran have to take care and keep Ezra and his mother until the radiation dies down.
