Radical by Em Kokie
Determined to survive the crisis she's sure is imminent, Bex is at a loss when her world collapses in the one way she hasn't planned for. Preppers. Survivalists. Bex prefers to think of herself as a realist who plans to survive, but regardless of labels, they're all sure of the same thing: a crisis is coming. And when it does, Bex will be ready. She's planned exactly what to pack, she knows how to handle a gun, and she'll drag her family to safety by force if necessary. When her older brother discovers Clearview, a group that takes survival just as seriously as she does, Bex is intrigued. While outsiders might think they're a delusional doomsday group, she knows there's nothing crazy about being prepared. But Bex isn't prepared for Lucy, who is soft and beautiful and hates guns. As her brother's involvement with some of the members of Clearview grows increasingly alarming and all the pieces of Bex's life become more difficult to juggle, Bex has to figure out where her loyalties really lie. In a gripping new novel, E. M. Kokie questions our assumptions about family, trust, and what it really takes to survive.E.M. Kokie is a lawyer who has long been interested in teen fiction. Being a lawyer isn't that different from being a writer, she adds, since the same attentive and analytical temperament that helps me understand a dispute from numerous points of view also helps me go inside a character's head and see the world through his eyes. Matt's voice was so loud and vivid to me from the start that I could almost taste his rage and frustration. I wrote the rest of the book to learn more about him and figure out why he was so enraged. Madison, Wisconsin is home to E.M. Kokie.
