Oxford Street burned for three weeks; the Regent's Park camps have been bombed. Lalla, 16, has grown up sheltered from the new reality by her visionary father, Michael Paul. He has promised Lalla and her mother that they will escape. Escape on a ship big enough to save 500 people. Once onboard, as day follows identical day, Lalla's unease grows. Where are they going?

Critic reviews

" The Ship is tense, engaging and emotionally charged: I devoured this novel." (Helen Dunmore)

I enjoyed listening to this story. Antonia Honeywell does a good job giving us a glimpse of what the future might become if we are not careful. It was well written and Melody Grove's performance was a good one. The only downside is the ending that left me wondering what happened next.

Very good story

Hated the ending, returned it because of it. Also never understood why Lalla couldn't just seize the opportunity to become their leader and focus on organic regrowth in order to save them all instead of only seeing the ship as only a grave when it could have been a temporary haven while she figured out how to change things.

Liked but ended terribly

The premise and story of this book are interesting. I hated the main character so much I could barely stand the story because of her ridiculous thoughts and actions. Also, the reader kind of bothered me too.

Ok book

At times the story moved to slow but it was a pretty good story. It seemed real.

I listened to the free prequel and was so excited to listen. I kept waiting for it to get better and for the main character to stop being so full of self pity. I hated the ending even more than I hated the ending of the Divergent series.
The saving grace really was the interview with the author at the end. After hearing why she wrote this story and the inspirations for it I felt less negativity towards the book but still very frustrated.

Meets silent spring... This book was a solid 3.5 to 4 stars. An entrancing story told through the eyes of a teenage girl. It's about a destroyed world and a girl that lived through it because of her parents but never gets to experience it. Worth your time cash or credit. I would also put it the ya genre but very well done. Not like hunger games ect...

A good YA recommendation.

For small group reading study. Middle Secondary. Capable readers should be able to make links to classics such as "Diary of Anne Frank"

The protagonist is so unlikeable / non relatable that it’s hard to care what happens to her and it’s hard to see why anyone else in the story cares about what happens to her. The themes of the story are interesting but totally muted given the main characters flaws.
