The story: Everyone in town is out watching the aurora borealis on New Year's Eve when a massive solar event causes power failures everywhere--and this time, the power never comes back on. A crazy survivalist tries to rule the town, food and firewood run short...and Charlie's mom is about to run out of medicine. Charlie hatches a daring plan to cross-country sky to the nearest town to find help. Will he make it? And will there by any help to be found?

Liz's comments: An interesting boy-against-nature story that might encourage a wide variety of readers to store a little food and fuel in the pantry just in case the lights go out!
