~ Hardcover

One afternoon, every single machine in sixteen-year-old Adam’s high school computer lab stops working, cars won’t start, phones are down, and there is a widespread blackout that has paralyzed not just his town but the whole country and beyond.  As resources dwindle, crises mount, and chaos descends, he will see that his suburban neighborhood must band together for protection . . .

Set in the here and now but with a distinctly dystopian feel, The Power of 3 is Eric Walter’s most exciting title yet!

“Adam’s ethical qualms about the ruthless decisions that Herb insists they must make (turning people away from their sanctuary, treating unknown people as threats) make for nuanced reading.” -- Booklist
