'After tomorrow' by Gillian Cross is an exciting, page-turning, dystopian novel set in a time when the banks have crashed and there is not enough food to go round and as it says on the cover "survival is your only option". It is quite a frightening novel because it makes you think about what it would be like if this actually happened. So if you like a read that is excting and thought-provoking you should try this one.
From the blurb : "What if you woke up tomorrow and everything had changed? Money is worthless. Your friends are gone. Armed robbers roam the streets. No one is safe. For Matt and his little brother, Taco, that nightmare is a reality. Their only hope of survival is to escape through the Channel Tunnel. But danger waits on the other side...Stay or go. What would you do?"
