(2) YA When the world learns that omnipotent aliens will decide humanity's fate in eight days, chaos erupts, and three teens strive to make their (potentially) final days count. Rishi's debut novel skillfully addresses complex contemporary issues on both the global (environmental damage, war, greed) and personal (identity, mental health) scales. It also tackles prejudice and the ways existential fatalism can inordinately affect marginalized people. The story line is dark but ends on a hopeful note.
