I am a reader for the Arkansas Teen Book Awards. Zero Day by Jan Gangsei is one of the books on my list to read for it this summer. Two of my favorite genres are fantasy and mystery. I love anything that keeps me on the edge of seat wondering "whodunit" and anything that helps me escape from reality. I am a library media specialist, a mom, a wife, and more. I have always loved to read. I get so engrossed in books that I become part of the story and often have to be physically shaken to be snapped out of the trance I enter when reading.
I absolutely loved this book. From the moment I looked at the cover and read the short synopsis, I was hooked. I had to know what happened, what this story was about, and how it would end. I was not prepared for some of the events that unfolded. The main character, Addie, was kidnapped 8 years ago. Her family searched for her, but never found her. One day, she just shows back up. Everyone and everything has changed so much since she disappeared including the fact that her dad is no longer the governor but President of the United States. Now they all have to figure out who she really is, where she was, and why is she suddenly back. Who are the good guys and bad guys really? Threats are made, attacks happen, people die. I would say more about the plot, but you can read the Goodreads summary here. I give this book 5 stars, and will definitely be recommending it to students!
