    About this audiobook

    Chaos reigns after an electromagnetic pulse attack destroys the country’s power grid and sends the United States back to the Dark Ages. The hit leaves fifteen-year-old Dee stranded on a farm in rural Washington, where basic survival is the top priority. But without the essentials—electricity, clean water, even her cell phone—does Dee have a chance?

    As disease and lawlessness run rampant in the nearby town, everything Dee holds dear is threatened by a corrupt official who steps into power. With handsome, troubled Mason at her side, Dee will have to fight if she wants to survive and save her home in this hostile new world.

    Written for all fans of apocalypse stories, Outage is a young adult novel of survival with a hint of romance and brimming with action-adventure.

    Revised edition: This edition of Outage includes editorial revisions.

    Ellisa Barr

    Ellisa Barr grew up in a small town in Idaho, even smaller than the fictitious town of Lookout Falls. In the summer, almost entirely cut off from friends and other entertainment, she became a voracious reader. When she misbehaved as a tween, her parents despaired of finding a suitable punishment, because the only thing she wanted to do was read. Finally, they resorted to grounding her from books. Her friends thought she had the best parents ever. Ellisa agrees. She lives with her husband, two children, a dog, and a cat in Southern California, where she homeschools her kids and knows just enough about prepping to prolong her agony in the event of the apocalypse.

      The month after our mother died, our father began bringing women home. It felt like a behind-her-back kind of operation. “I’m going to have a guest over tonight,” is what he would say. David and I stayed out in the living room, turned up cartoons, bu

      Do you know what an EMP is or what it could do to our world? Neither did Dee until it happened. Lucky for her she had been dumped at her grandfathers farm so her parent could go on vacation. This is a great beginning book to an interesting premise of survival and adaptation. It was highly enjoyable and if you don't at least start stocking up on canned goods when you read it you are tougher than me.

      If you want an introduction for teens to the possible social situations society could face after an EMP strike, this book is a clean read with mild flirting, no drinking or drug use, and minor references to the LDS religion through being prepared for a disaster. A few situations made me wonder if it was medically realistic, but not for human nature as you have characters spanning good to bad with a self centered teen, Dee, who shows admirable growth in ways she amazes even herself. I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I received a copy for review through Goodreads First Reads.
