(2) 4-6 As the town of Harmony, New Hampshire, watched the aurora borealis, a solar flare caused the power to go out everywhere. Charlie Cobb's first-person narration makes the global disaster personal; unadorned prose carries readers along on his mission to find diabetes medicine for his mom. Though Charlie's world may lack energy, the book's plot doesn't, and readers will enjoy the ride.
