<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Convinced the world at large can't be trusted to prioritize the well-being of adolescent girls in the event of a cataclysmic event (or just in general), a determined troupe of preteen "doomers" commit to preparing for survival in the post-collapse society they anticipate inheriting.</p> <p>When Maureen, Jo, Sarah, Vic, and Robbie sneak out at night to investigate an ominous hidden lair in the woods, they believe they have stumbled onto proof of what happened to a mysterious local cult that vanished over a decade ago. As they search for vital clues, examining small bones and dusty cans of food for signs of life, they fight to understand how to be understood in a world that seems to reject them. What they discover changes everything--eighth grade will never be the same.</p> <p>Part Judy Blume, part <em>Rambo</em>, this darkly comic coming-of-age story for complicated times is for any young woman who has ever been told that she is "too much," or that what she fears is illegitimate, or that what she has to say is less important than keeping the peace.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The Doomers' anger comes from a place of compassion--for each other, for the planet and even for Robbie--which we understand by the time the lights go up. It's not easy to tackle that and make us laugh, too." --Liam Richards, <em>The Saskatoon StarPhoenix</em></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Michaela is an award-winning Calgary-based playwright and graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada.
