This book begins with one of the main characters, Luka P, and her idea to escape from a place called Factory. The other main character is Kataka J. She and her family have just moved to the Frontier from the Cities. Throughout the book Kataka tries to figure out the secrets that are kept within the town of Meander and at Cherry Heaven. This book is extremely interesting because of the futuristic setting and the use of two point of views. Reviewed by Jennifer Rummel for TeensReadToo.com History repeats itself. Everyone left Earth because of all the fighting and destruction of the planet. All these people left for a better chance at life, but they've forgotten their past mistakes. Kat and Tanka move to the New Frontier with their foster parents ten years after the war killed their real parents. The New Frontier is taking giant leaps in equality for everyone, keeping peace, and helping to rebuild this world. Unfortunately, there's a secret behind the equality and it's about to be exposed. CHERRY HEAVEN, the companion novel to THE DIARY OF PELLY D, will open your eyes towards war and give new meaning to the word hope. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Like the original, Cherry Heaven is told in a parallel structure, one from the point of view of a factory worker in the Blue Mountain bottling company, a deplorable sweatshop on the edge of town, and a family of refugees from the genetic wars of City Five.
The refugee family moves into an abandoned cherry farm, a once beautiful place, but not falling onto hard times. The cherry trees are dead or dying and many are rotten. Plus the place appears to be haunted both by the bad karma of a decade old mass murder, and by a shadowy figure who is stalking the girls now living there.
Cherry Heaven is more of a straight up mystery — like Postern of Fate by Agatha Christie than its predecessor. The keys to the mystery lie in the how the parallel stories relate and in what secrets the modern day town leadership is hiding. ( )
