When she was 3 years old, Hannah woke in the middle of the night screaming for her mother, Leah.  She told her mother that she needed to go to the door because the police were coming to tell her that "grandpa" was dead.  Leah told her that Grandpa is fine and that she has just had a bad dream.  But just then there's a knock at the door and it's the police telling them that Leah's father has just been killed in a auto accident.Nine years later, 12-year old Hannah has another vision and tells her parents, "Everyone over the age of 20 in the entire world is going to die. We have six years to prepare for it."  Her visions also tell her what she needs to do to bring a group of children together into a type of "commune" to begin preparing for the end of the world as they know it and to prepare them to become the "Adams and Eves" for the new world. (Does this remind anyone else of "Lord of the Flies"?)This is book one of a five-book series and I'm not very fond of those.  I don't mind purchasing additional books in a series to find out what happens to secondary characters but I don't like to be left hanging so that I have to buy another book to tell me how the current book I am reading will end. I certainly don't like having to buy multiple other books to learn the ending.  I look at this as the "hook" book that draws you into buying the entire Chasing Destiny series. In it's defense, the additional books in this series cost only $0.99 each so that's less than $4.00 for the entire five-book series. This still is not real high on my list of books I love.
