"Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands" by Chris Bohjalian is Fantastic!
Close Your eyes, Hold Hands by Chris Bohjalian is told by Emily Shepard who is a homeless teen who lives in an igloo made of ice and trash bags! Half a year earlier, her parents caused a nuclear disaster. Emily does not want anyone to know who she really is because she fears people will blame her too. This is a fantastic page turner that I enjoyed. Emily is a great character. SPOILER ALERT, STOP NOW IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW THE ENDING! I loved the ending when she reunites with her dog!
