In this eye-catching Dystopian tale of uprising, "Treemakers" shines as a dark, and inviting tale of a fallout world that could be. A world so decimated and twisted that the defenseless children are forced to basically take care of themselves. The remaining teenagers tend to the smaller children, and all the while the human population struggles to breath. Even just taking a stroll outside is out of the question. I was impressed with the depth the author dove into building the world of Treemakers, and could tell she took her time with this novel. She owns vivid descriptions throughout the book, and immerses the reader into the near-uninhabitable world, forcing them to understand the hardships of our story.
We are promptly introduced to a level-headed, 16 year old Joy (Momma), the kind and motherly type. She took it upon herself to nurture the younger children at the station (reminded me of Katniss from Hunger Games Actually :). As you can imagine, Joy nearly overloads her days with responsibilities to the point where she nearly can't take it anymore. She's only human/slave, and can only take so much pressure under the reign of the awful Superiors who could careless about her. It occurred to me how amazing this young clan of colorful children could manage to take care of themselves with so much going on. It all came down to one thing, the will to survive. The children are forced to manufacture trees for precious oxygen that would be distributed across all of Bygonne. Joy has had enough, and decides to risk it all by finding out the truth behind everything she thought she knew. The plot thickens as she realizes the truth and Joy has no choice but to try their luck at escaping. Will they be able to make it? When so many others failed in the attempt? Not to mention there are hideous monsters lurking about, ready to snatch the children at any moment! One thing is for sure, no where is safe, and they had better keep their wits about them.
I would like to recommend some tissues before reading this novel. It has some heartbreaking elements that will absolutely make you have an ugly cry. If you can handle that, you'll absolutely love this story. It has deep plot twist, and all around a fantastic read. I'll definitely be reading Rozelle's next book!
