Tragedy Can Strike Anyone

Not a review of anything.  

You are minding your own business, keeping busy, and you get a call....

Tragedy can strike anyone at any time. 

There is no hiding, no dissembling, no avoidance; it can strike anyone at any time. 

Please look at those you love and tell them you love them. 

Words, hugs, kisses, any of that works. 

Avoid regretting unspoken words, and avoid guilt over not sharing your emotions.

Give your love freely and frequently because you don't know when tragedy will strike. 

R.A.T. S by Claudia Daher

 This is a book for kids.  Try to remember that if you aren’t a kid, and read it.  Adults will find the book naïve and simplistic. I think kids will find it hopeful.  R.A.T.S stands for the Revolutionary Army Of Teens.  R.A.T.S is an insanely popular, immersive computer game. Two major features in the game are addressing environmental disasters and battling aliens.

 The book also has some mystical overtones, which may or may not be religious. Adults reading the book will struggle with the wholesale relinquishing of parental oversight and control when the world is settled.  Kids reading it may identify with other kids overthrowing parental control to do something noble.

 I did not find the book compelling, but at my age, I’m hardly the target market.  I think many kids will assume that they, too, are mature enough to go out on their own and face danger. 

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases if you click on a purchasing link below.#CommissionsEarned
