A Double Review of "Across the Universe" & "A Million Suns" by Beth Revis
Review written by M. Shelly

What will the future look like when we are capable of space-travel?  For one Earth-born teenager Amy, it means being held in a cryogenic sleep for 300 years while traveling across the universe to a new and habitable planet.

Ever wonder who is running the ship during all those long years? The adventure begins as Amy wakes up and finds herself nowhere near the destination. The only other teenager on board the spaceship is Elder, captain in training.

This teenage-duo soon become detectives in solving mysteries of murder, mayhem, engine problems, and hidden stairways. As they dig deeper into the secrets of the spaceship, they also discover a loving friendship.  It is a very fast paced book; adults and children will both enjoy it.

Each chapter is written from either Amy’s or Elder’s perspective. Their voices are distinct and easily identified.  My only grievance was when I got to the end of the second book and realized that the third book, Shades of Earth, was not going to be released until January of 2013!
