Hetty, Byatt, and Reese are just 3 of the girls left at Raxter after a mysterious illness has taken over the school and the animals and plants on the island. You don’t know what caused it you just know they are stuck on school grounds due to quarantine. The navy and CDC are looking for a cure. Only the boat girls get to leave the grounds and get the food that is left on the dock.
I liked the first half of the book better than the ending. So much of the book I was trying to figure out what caused the girls and the island to change. The writing kept the pace and the book flew by. I have to say I was disappointed in the ending. I was looking for so many more answer than what we got. I didn’t understand why the adults that were left kept o many secrets. It seems to me so many of the problems were due to secrets and not an unknown illness.
