Perfect follow-up to Children of Morrow

Tia and Rabbit have reached Morrow after their long ardous journey, but they feel lost in the alien environment and wonder about what life is like back at the base. Along with Ashira and the crew of the Simone 2, they travel back to their old home. HM Hoover has done it again, with a wonderful tale of discovery. Morrow has it's flaws and Tia and Rabbit realise that they can never go back to their old life. Beautiful, lyrical writing by a mistress of the genre.

Was one of my favorites as a kid

I have read and re-read 'Treasures of Morrow' as well as 'Children of Morrow'. As one strangely fascinated by those books/movies dealing with what becomes of people/cultures AFTER the fall of civilization as we know it, this is a fascinating read. It is geared towards young teens but if I could find a copy, I'd buy it for my future children. Why oh WHY have the publishers failed to put Ms. Hoover's books on the re-print list? There is definitely a new and existing audience for her books!

A frightening future

Along with Children of Morrow, Treasures of Morrow presents both a frightening and an uplifting view of what our future may hold. As in many of her other books, H. M. Hoover has created a vivid and imaginative picture of where our civilization is headed. I read these books when I was young, and have reread them in libraries many times since. I am repeatedly disappointed that they are out of print, and hope that some day they will be rereleased.
