When I signed up to be a part of the Book tour, I had never heard of the book before. So I read the summary on goodreads and thought it sounds a bit like the movie The Day the Earth stood still. So needless to say I was excited. The authors writing is solid but the characters lack for me. The book had me excited at time reading then it would quite down for me. The ending of the book felt short but it did end well. The storyline just needed something more.

You meet Kelsa who father has died from cancer and she is keeping something from her mother. You read about a virus that will kill all trees in the future and basically it depends on Kelsa and her friend Raven to save the trees. So they venture across the country and have many adventures and dangers come at them. So if you are into Sci Fy then this will probably be your book.

Summary: (from goodreads) In the year 2098 America isn't so different from the USA of today. But, in a post-9/11 security-obsessed world, "secured" doesn't just refer to borders between countries, it also refer to borders between states. Teenagers still think they know everything, but there is no cure for cancer, as Kelsa knows first-hand from watching her father die.

The night Kelsa buries her father, a boy appears. He claims magic is responsible for the health of Earth, but  human damage disrupts its flow. The planet is dying.

Kelsa has the power to reverse the damage, but first she must accept that magic exists and see beyond her own pain in order to heal the planet.
