I read each part of Fredric Shernoff's Atlantic Island series separately and can say, this is a story that will have you guessing at many points and gives you a great payoff in the end.The story starts off with Theo and three friends meeting up in Atlantic City with three girls they meet on the way there. During their evening together, a mysterious event separates the island from the rest of the mainland U.S. Over the pages of the rest of the book, you see what the civilization transforms itself into and what role Theo and his friends play in that new society.Along the way, the reader is left with mysteries. What was the event that caused Atlantic Island to exist? What is going on with Deputy Mayor Paul Tiberius? What role does Theo have to play in all this?Mr. Shernoff answers all the questions, although some of the answers may simply lead to more questions and definitely leaves room for him to possibly explore his newly created world in the future.A great read for Young Adult, or those young at heart for a speculative science fiction tale.
