Summary
Time is slipping away....
Tella Holloway is losing it. Her brother is sick, and when a dozen doctors can't determine what's wrong, her parents decide to move to Montana for the fresh air. She's lost her friends, her parents are driving her crazy, her brother is dying—and she's helpless to change anything.
Until she receives mysterious instructions on how to become a Contender in the Brimstone Bleed. It's an epic race across jungle, desert, ocean, and mountain that could win her the prize she desperately desires: the Cure for her brother's illness. But all the Contenders are after the Cure for people they love, and there's no guarantee that Tella (or any of them) will survive the race.
The jungle is terrifying, the clock is ticking, and Tella knows she can't trust the allies she makes. And one big question emerges: Why have so many fallen sick in the first place?
Review
First of all I would like to thank Scholastic for sponsoring this review and for also sending me this book for review. As always this review is 100% honest.
When I found out that I could receive Fire & Flood for review I was ecstatic. I have heard really great things about this book and I've also heard it being described as Pokemon and The Hunger Games combined. If that doesn't sound freaking awesome I don't know what does.
I started reading this book about 10 minutes after I got it in the mail and I flew through it in just a day. The strange thing is, I don't really have a lot of feelings towards this book. I know that I really enjoyed it I just can't put my finger on what I enjoyed about it.
I'm excited to see how the rest of the race goes in the sequel Salt & Stone!!
This is a really good book though, maybe I will update my review when I can finally get my thoughts put together.
