At first glance, BEFORE WE GO EXTINCT by Karen Rivers appeared to be the familiar story of grief and tragedy that has become quite popular in young adult novels. But, upon experiencing the fluidity and realism that the book offers, it became quite clear to me that BEFORE WE GO EXTINCT was something special.
“Sharky's voice is one of the book's greatest strong points….BEFORE WE GO EXTINCT was truly an eye-opening read.”
