CHASING PROPHECY begins with the story of Mo and his friend Max. Mo is a punching bag for the bullies in his school, and Max defends him. Enter Kazzy. She's a member of the commune near Mo. The members of the commune don't believe that the United States government has any authority over them despite the fact that they reside in the state of Washington. The commune is threatened by the federal government with taxes and has to take action to survive.This story is interesting for a young adult, but I found some of the writing a bit awkward. The author needed to devote a bit more attention to the characters to elicit sympathy for them, and at times the setting was unclear. The plot doesn't begin until after a third of the novel. Still, this is an enjoyable novel for young adults that has a moral lesson as well.
