The Last Stop asks the question: What happens when Evolution ends? It's Ender's Game meets Close Encounter of the Third Kind - a character-driven action packed drama first set in a high school suffused with emerging sexuality and a strict pecking order, followed by wild flying saucer rides to the dark side of the moon, and then to a city under the ice on Europa where seemingly anything is possible. Mature Sci-Fi devotees will appreciate The Last Stop's hardcore science and philosophy. Young adult readers will enjoy its fast-paced action, stunning visual imagery, three-dimensional characters, teenage protagonists and just the right dash of humor. Who says a feelgood story can't be classic Sci Fi?

      Gr 4-7-All the aliens want is to see the hominids evolve and stop destroying the biosphere. Fortunately for them, best friends David and Mickey are a different breed of human. The two teenage boys find a space suit while camping and embark on what initially promises to be a grand adventure. Rather than the immersive world promised, this work has numerous stumbling blocks in its narrative: the book is told in alternating viewpoints that are difficult to distinguish. This, coupled with David's and Mickey's stilted dialogue, makes the characters flat and unbelievable. Additionally, the author's shifts in verb tense makes this a challenging read. VERDICT Riddled with excessive exclamation points, poor grammar, and inauthentic characterization, this is a skip.-Alexandra Patterson, Mercersburg Academy Library, PA
