The Big Dark by Rodman Philbrick is an engaging novel that has been set in a post-apocalyptic world where an energy crisis leads the whole civilization into darkness and chaos. The story is about a little boy named Hugh, who tries to figure out how to survive a very terrorizing reality. Confronted with fear and violence, the transformation of Hugh from a frightened child into a brave leader is sure to happen.

Jxsfi The journey, on one hand, allows him to develop necessary friendships, especially with a girl named Maggie through facing evil experiences. The novel weaves stories of survival, community life, and the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity in such a poetic way into a realistic picture of how connectedness and hope can bloom even in times so dark.

Jxsfi The Big Dark is written in third-person, mainly because its describing the thoughts and events of Hugh. It gives the reader much insight into Hughs feelings and his struggle while allowing the reader to see the vast and chaotic world he has been thrust into. Philbrick sets this point of view with detailed, descriptive language that outlines Hughs inner thoughts and feelings, providing insight into his fears and motivations. (edited) 3mo

What would you do if every spark of electricity suddenly vanished, as if somebody had flipped a switch on the entire planet? Cars won't start, the heat shuts off, there's no water in your faucet, and your radio, TV, and flashlight go dark.
