This was certainly a different kind of book with a very interesting premise. The earth as we know it was made uninhabitable by radiation caused by war between nations. Those that survived were sent to live in underground compounds. Those affected, well they either died or were forced to live on the surface of the earth. The leaders used people to start rebuilding--even when it meant stealing them from their families. Life underground was horrendous--food shortages was the least of their problems. Mia, the central figure in this tale hates it and when a letter came to her father asking them to go to an above ground installation she begged and begged him. They went---but----That's it folks--you will have to read this book to learn what happens and ultimately why!

WHAT IF YOU ENTERED A WORLD YOU DIDN'T KNOW
“Did you ever feel so lost that you didn’t know if the ground was above your head or below your feet?”
A. K. Downing is the author of the young adult, adventure novel Into the Air. She grew up in the hills of southwestern Pennsylvania and spent her summers exploring the fields, woods and orchards of her grandparents' farm. She studied graphic design at Kent State University and currently works as a Creative Director. She enjoys history, camping, and walking through fields of tall grass, and feels there is no better way to see the world than from the top of a horse. She currently lives in the woods with her husband, daughter, two cats and five chickens. Into the Air is her first novel.
