The Resuurection Fields

November 1, 2009
Gr 7 Up-In this third book in the trilogy, the evil dictator is dead. Dante and Bea have been fighting him all along, but now it appears that Dante has crossed over to the evil side and when the dictator's replacement is announced, it is none other than Dante himself. The story is told alternately from Bea's point of view and then Dante's. Bea has her own fight on hand; from her, readers learn of the government's plan to get its citizens to eat a strange food for the "health benefits" it offers. It isn't long before the Big Brother elements become apparent to readers, who watch helplessly as the characters slowly realize what is going on. The science fiction and fantasy elements far outshine the horror aspects of this fascinating conglomerate of genre styles."Jake Pettit, Thompson Valley High School, Loveland, CO"
