Description To Books On the Edge of Gone

January 29, 2035.

That’s the day the comet is scheduled to hit—the big one. Denise and her mother and sister, Iris, have been assigned to a temporary shelter near their hometown of Amsterdam to wait out the blast, but Iris is nowhere to be found, and at the rate Denise’s drug-addicted mother is going, they’ll never reach the shelter in time.

Then a last-minute encounter leads them to something better than a temporary shelter: a generation ship that’s scheduled to leave Earth behind and colonize new worlds after the comet hits. But each passenger must have a practical skill to contribute. Denise is autistic and fears that she’ll never be allowed to stay. Can she obtain a spot before the ship takes flight? What about her mother and sister?

When the future of the human race is at stake, whose lives matter most?

**This book was sent to me for review by Abrams, the publisher, but that in no way affects my opinions**I was happy to accept this when asked to review it as I have recently been reading and enjoying a lot of YA sci-fi and this was no exception to that rule. This book is set at the start of the end of the world in a highly advanced society, but one which is doomed. We follow the character of Denise and her family (her mother and the search for her sister) over the course of the book. Whilst the



!!!! excellent!!! a really beautiful story about humanity & hope at the end of the worldrepresentation: the main character is black & autistic, her sister is black & trans, there are jewish + muslim side characters

I received a copy from the publisher Abrams & Chronicle in exchange for an honest review On the Edge of Gone is an #ownvoices novel set in Amsterdam telling the story of Denise, a young girl with autism, her mother who is a drug addict and her sister who has failed to return home on the day a comet strikes the earth setting off the apocalypse. Denise and her mother end up sheltering on a generation ship, The Nassau, which had been unable to take off due to technical difficulties during the

The first time my future vanished was July 19, 2034." On the Edge of Gone does a lot of really great things and, for the first 25%, I thought it was going to be a new favourite. Perhaps I expected all the wrong things from it, and maybe this review will prevent others from doing the same.Let's start with all the positive stuff. Duyvis opens with a writing style that draws you in. Her narrator - an autistic, mixed race, Dutch girl - has an immediately sympathetic and likable narrative voice. Set

This tale is an enchanting take on a disaster/sci-fi movie. Earth is doomed, can humanity survive on a post-comet planet? Is there any other solution? An enormous generation ship is parked at the airport, undergoing essential repairs prior to lift off, but it isn't taking passengers. Our lead character is an autistic teen struggling to find her place in life, society, Earth and, dare she hope, space. Oh, and the poor cats!

On the Edge of Gone broke me apart. Every other chapter I was either clutching my chest or short of breath. It doesn't have action on its entirety like fight scenes - but it has this fundamental and OMFG moments that left me feeling really nervous. It has running-for-your-life, can't-believe-this-is-happening scenes that took years out of my life. Corinne Duyvis you made my last three days reading this book amazing. There is not a lot of YA books that have an autistic main character. Add that
