How to Pack for the End of the World

Summary

The
Breakfast Club meets We Are the Ants
in this timely story for a generation of young activists.

If you knew the
world was going to end tomorrow, what would you do?

This is the question
that haunts Amina as she watches new and horrible stories of discord and crisis
flash across the news every day.

But when she starts at prestigious Gardner
Academy, Amina finds a group of like-minded peers to join forces with—fast friends
who dedicate their year to learning survival skills from each other, before
it’s too late.

Still, as their
prepper knowledge multiplies, so do their regular high school problems, from
relationship drama to family issues to friend blow-ups. Juggling the two parts
of their lives forces Amina to ask another vital question: Is it worth living
in the hypothetical future if it’s at the expense of your actual present?
