Love in the Time of Global Warming by Francesca Lia BlockMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
After losing contact with her family during the Earth Shake that hits futuristic Los Angeles Pen takes off on an epic adventure to find them. Along the way Pen encounters dangerous creatures and giants and must fit her way through each obstacle.
Love in the Time of Global Warming is La Block's take on a contemporary dystopian version of The Odyssey. While it draws on elements from the original epic, Lia Block takes a refreshing approach in her telling. This is something that will easily appeal to teens whether or not they have read Homer's original. It is full of action and fantasy that keeps readers on the edge of their seat. I read this in one sitting.
