The Alliance

By Gerald Lund

This a post apocalyptic book about settlements that were set after a nuclear war between the USA and Russia. There are different types of societies, some which are very restrictive, and remove the free will of those who belong to the community. It is similar to The Giver enough that if you liked it you would love this book.

Overall: 5 out of 5

Language: Not a worry

Violence: Some intense violence, but nothing too graphic.

Morality: Not a worry

Age appropriate: 12 and up
