Thunder, by Bonnie Calhoun, is a sci-fi book that is set in
post-apocalyptic America. With all of the dystopian young adults books that are
so popular right now, I wasn’t sure how this book would compare to some of the
others. I really enjoy books like The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Giver, etc., so I was really excited to read this book.
Selah is the main character, and she is just about to reach her 18th
birth remembrance. She tries to show her brothers that she has value by capturing
a Lander. Her brothers decide to sell the Lander, despite the fact that she is
the person who captured him. When she finds herself also being marked, she
makes the discovery that she is part Lander. With Bodhi, the Lander she
previously captured, she begins to search for her real father.
I enjoyed this book, and that could be because I really like
dystopian books. I think that most teens would enjoy reading this book because
it has just the right amount of suspense and action. I’m looking forward to
reading more of Selah’s story in future books in this serious.
