BookTags: · ·

Cross the grid. Survive the storms. Let your destiny burn.

When mankind’s attempts to control nature backfire, Texas descends into a wasteland. Storms rage and ravenous beasts roam the Outer Grid. The only safe havens rest inside the tech-obsessed domed cities. But when her parents are murdered inside the Plex City dome, seventeen-year-old Juniper Conway wants revenge.

Ties to her extended family threaten to pull her back as she runs from city to city. The Plex is endangering its citizens by legalizing a deadly nano drug, and Juniper’s family needs her help to deliver the counteragent. Saving the city who orphaned her goes against everything she stands for. The only way out is to brave the wasteland.

Juniper joins a shipping crew fearless enough to transport food across the Outer Grid. But when a string of bad luck turns lethal, she fears something, or someone, is dragging her back to the Plex. As her world sinks into chaos, Juniper must decide if revenge is worth the lives of the crew she has come to love.

Review of The Chaos Grid

· September 2024

Humanity tried to fix the weather, but broke the world. Now people can only live in climate-controlled domed cities. But when seventeen-year-old Juniper’s grandparents decide they must move to the hated Plex City Dome, Juniper runs away and joins with the shippers who supply the domed cities while braving pirates and titanic monsters. She must prove herself to this crew or be left behind as her bad luck creates a chaos storm. Lyndsey Lewellen’s near-futuristic The Chaos Grid turns the familiar landscape of Texas into a quick-paced post-apocalyptic journey. Fantastic characters and distinct mutant animals paint the desert landscape with vibrant shades.

Best for: Fans of post-apocalyptic dystopian tales with light biblical allusions.

Discern: Drug abuse by villains, violence in combat settings, mildly described attempted sexual assault.
