The Darkness Outside

I want to scream. I want to fling myself down and beat my hands against the ground. This isn't how things were supposed to be. This isn't how this story was supposed to end. It feels like a lifetime ago that my family and I embarked on our simulated mission. I wish I'd known what would happen next. I wish I could go back in time and grab my family and run far away ... all the way to the moon. But, of course, that's impossible. And now it's too late to run. ------------------------------------ Sixteen-year-old Lois and her mom, dad, and sister have signed up for a top-secret competition, hoping to win a life-changing prize. They have agreed to be locked in a state-of-the-art bunker with nine other families to go on a thirty-day simulated trip to the moon. During their "journey," their every move will be judged by anonymous evaluators. Families that don't have what it takes will be eliminated. Lois thought losing the competition was the worst thing that could happen to her. She was dead wrong. What readers are saying about THE DARKNESS OUTSIDE: "WOW!! I was totally blown away.
