OLDER FICTION
Westerfeld, Scott

Afterworlds

(2) YA The first chapter introduces eighteen-year-old YA author Darcy Patel. Chapter two takes place at an airport--where a startlingly violent terrorist attack unfolds before the eyes of narrator Lizzie. Readers will soon realize that Lizzie is the protagonist of Darcy's novel, but Westerfeld has done the trick of putting us disconcertingly off balance. The six-hundred-page novel moves at a brisk pace.
