Hirsch, Jeff

The Darkest Path

328 pp. | Scholastic | October, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-545-51223-7 $17.99
(4) YA This unceasingly grim look at a future taken over by a murderous religious cult requires a strong reader with a taste for true dystopias. Aside from the dark content (even little brothers and cute stray dogs aren't safe), Hirsch occasionally threads his dialogue with far too much exposition. Still, Cal, searching for any semblance of peace, is a deeply compelling protagonist.
