A Pool of Deathly Blue

Twins Madison and Mason Page have everything two kids could ever want, but they don't seem to appreciate any of it. One day, they dive into their luxurious swimming pool and surface in a very different place. They emerge into another town, long since abandoned. Trapped in this new world, they venture forth, finding evidence that the town's former residents must have suffered some sort of horrible fate before disappearing. Then it hits them. They have somehow been transported to the ghost town of Pripyat, which has stood empty since the local power station exploded many years earlier, a nuclear plant known as Chernobyl.

This was an interesting yet straightforward read and there wasn’t much I could pick holes in. It was what it was… a good YA story with an informative and meaningful message.

The writing wasn’t amazing but I think the message itself and how teenagers could relate to the twins and their outlook on life and make the necessary changes when needed was the main drive of the novella. As a result it does what it says on the tin.
