We were in the square, in the square where I'd run, holding her, carrying her, telling her to stay alive, stay alive till we got safe, till we got to Haven so I could save her - But there weren't no safety, no safety at all, there was just him and his men...

Fleeing before a relentless army, Todd has carried a desperately wounded Viola right into the hands of their worst enemy, Mayor Prentiss. Immediately separated from Viola and imprisoned, Todd is forced to learn the ways of the Mayor's new order. But what secrets are hiding just outside of town? And where is Viola? Is she even still alive? And who are the mysterious Answer? And then, one day, the bombs begin to explode...

"The Ask and the Answer" is a tense, shocking and deeply moving novel of resistance under the most extreme pressure. This is the second title in the "Chaos Walking" trilogy.

-------------------
I enjoyed it more than book 1. I am surprised by how much I like Davy. Poor Davy.

Unfortunately, I do not have book 3 on hand and will have to wait for the conclusion.

Congratulations on winning the Sci-Fi Sweepstakes. And sorry for taking so long to send. I hope you enjoy the book.

This came in the amazing box from mscar. I wasn't fond of the first book in the series. I don't plan on reading this second book.

So, thank you for the beautiful copy. I will add this to my release pile for some books I plan on leaving at one of the middle school's near me in the little free library one of their eighth grade classes built and installed a few years back.

Left in the little free library.
