With Earth irreparably damaged, the future of the human race rests on their shoulders.įor Leo, an Italian championship swimmer, this kind of purpose is a reason to go on after losing his family. Overnight, they become global celebrities in contention for one of the six slots to travel to Europa-Jupiter’s moon-and establish a new colony, leaving their planet forever.

When Leo and Naomi are drafted, along with twenty-two of the world’s brightest teenagers, into the International Space Training Camp, their lives are forever changed. Alexandra’s latest book, The Final Six, again transports readers, but to a completely different place. The book had a Rebecca-esque gothic feel that immediately transported me. In 2015, I read Alexandra Monir’s Suspicion and was pleasantly surprised. THE FINAL SIX, by Alexandra Monir, HarperTeen, March 6, 2018, Hardcover, $18.99 (young adult)
