The world ends in April
(CD)

Unabridged.

Read by Jessica Almasy.

Every day in middle school can feel like the end of the world. Eleanor Dross knows a thing or two about the end of the world, thanks to a survivalist grandfather who stockpiles freeze-dried food and supplies. So when she reads about a scientist's prediction that an asteroid will strike Earth in April, Eleanor knows her family will be prepared. Her classmates are on their own. Eleanor has just one friend she wants to keep safe: Mack. They've been best friends since kindergarten, and they'll survive the end of the world together if Mack doesn't go away to a special school for the blind. But it's hard to keep quiet about a life-destroying asteroid, especially at a crowded lunch table, and soon Eleanor is the president of the (secret) End of the World Club. It turns out that prepping for it is actually kind of fun. But she can't really be prepared for everything. And one way or another, Eleanor's world is about to change.
