One day your life is as simple as worrying about school and that all stopped when nuclear bomb is dropped all those things mean nothing anymore. Learn about Harper Cody and her family, how they learn new things about life, how people have changed or stayed the same, and what it takes to survive this new life. I wasn't sure as I started to read this book as I'm not a fame of apocalyptic genre but I was captivated from the very beginning. How one young girl lives her new life with her family thru violence, fear, hungry, death, life, and also she has hope for her future. So many emotions tore at my heart when reading Evergreen. This series must be read in order in my opinion because you'll learn so much and enjoy it even more ( )
