(2) YA When Eli was nine, his billionaire father led his family into an underground bunker built to protect them against nuclear war. Now fifteen, Eli begins questioning: is the outside world really gone? Bodeen's action-packed writing conveys the Compound environment and its subtly debilitative effects. This tense portrait of a family in crisis probes the psychological and moral costs of survival.
