Avi Bloom Series

The Runner (Book 1)

Ten years ago the president of the United States declared that global warming had reached a tipping point from which it would not recover. In answer to this dilemma, modern technology was shut down. The elderly and other volunteers could opt to live out the rest of their lives in a virtual world, but all others were left to fend for themselves.

Seventeen year old Avi Bloom lives in a world in which each family must contribute one child as a runner. A runner risks life and limb to travel from village to village delivering news and other small items. Avi is one run shy of retiring when she discovers that whole villages are disappearing, leaving only a few dead bodies and the youngest children behind. Now, Avi must find out who or what is responsible for these missing people as she goes on a journey and discovers friendship, love, and betrayal. She also discovers that the forces behind these disappearances are much larger and more frightening than she could ever have imagined.

New World Island (Book 2)

After learning that the missing villagers have been forced into a virtual world—a world where they no longer have control over their minds or bodies—Avi Bloom and her friends decide the best way to get some answers and stop this unknown force is to pretend like their minds are still inside the program. When a boat docks in front of their group and the others plugged into the program line up to board this vessel, the group is taken away from the world they know. They’re taken to an island that has somehow been left untouched by the shift away from technology. The island forces the group to question everything they once thought to be true.
