Sent to a fallout shelter to survive a nuclear catastrophe, a group of teenagers are the last hope for humanity. Can they survive living with one another first?

Katrina knew this day would come. She had been preparing for it all her life. The end of the world was here, and it looked nothing like she had imagined.

Now she was trapped in an underground fallout shelter with a group of teenagers who had been selected as the last hope for humanity. The idea of surviving the nuclear apocalypse alone blurs as she makes friends, and finds love, while buried beneath the earth.

Praise for Project Dandelion Book 1:

"I sat and read this beautiful novel in one sitting. I am almost out of breath as I turned the last page.... Thank you for creating this wonderful world." (Kimberly Paterson, Owner Ink Spill Indie Book Shop)

"An excellently written YA novel. We loved it so much that we made Heather Carson our October spotlight author!" (Balancing Books)

Project Dandelion by Heather Carson
This was a really good YA dystopian read! It was quick tho and the ending was kind of abrubt. I did like Katrina's quiet and reserved strength! I want to know more and I will definitely be following up with the next book.

Intriguing Good Start

Let me start by first saying that I usually don't get into post-apocalyptic dystopian disasters, let alone one filled with teenage angst. Carson is a local author and I wanted to give it a whirl.

The story has a great foundation. There is heart, fear, anxiety, and dread all rolled into these words. I went for a heck of a roller coaster ride from the start. In the beginning, we are immediately thrust into a scenario full of panic and confusion. Following our hero as she tries to sort out this new world she's found herself in, we are taken on a journey that feels all to familiar to anyone who's partaken in reading a dystopian book or watching a film: Nuclear Destruction.

The rest of the book is wrought with twists and turns equal to those found within the underground bunker. While battling with traditional teenage angst, relationships, crushes and bullying, we are also thrust into the "grown up" problems faced with any survival shelter. Struggles for power, alliances and distrust are seeded throughout.

NARRATION: The narrator did a phenomenal job! Stacey Glemboski really captured the mood of the entire gang. Her pacing and understanding of various dialogues helped push the story along.

Story: I think the story is a great start. It appears to be the first of many, which usually is the least developed. This happens with all stories as the full idea isn't realized at this point. That's not to say I'm not completely hooked and ready to download book 2 as soon as I can!

I highly recommend this book to anyone with teenage readers, or if you like YA books in general. Forewarning that there is hinting of a negative sexual encounter, which is cleverly prefaced by the author/narrator prior to the chapter beginning. A+ for that.

We have to dig!

I listened to the entire story in one day. It pulls you in with the facts that it could really happen. I look forward to the next installment.

great story

This was a great take on a dystopian world that I haven't read anywhere. I love dystopian stories that have humanity as the biggest story line and not a bunch of zombies and monsters. This book had a very human element to it and I could actually see something like this happening in our future. The only very small thing that I didn't like was that the narrator was very robotic sounding the entire time and not just when necessary for Nannie's part. I can't wait to see what happens in book 2!!

A Great New Idea for a Dystopian World!!

I absolutely loved listening to this book. The narrator Stacey G. Does a fabulous job portraying Katrina and several of the other characters in the book. The story is well written and engaging post apocalyptic world. I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns and the mob mentality that was well written in this book. If you’re a fan of the Maze Runner, then I suggest you pic this book up. It may just be right up your alley.

Great start!
