The Fallen Children
The Fallen Children | David Owen
4 posts | 1 read | 8 to read
One cover. 360 different colours. Which one will you get? Young people on the Midwich Estate don't have much hope for their futures. Keisha has lived there her whole life, and has been working hard to escape it; others have just accepted their lot. But change is coming... One night everyone inside Midwich Tower falls mysteriously unconscious in one inexplicable 'Nightout'. No one can explain what happened during those lost hours, but soon afterwards Keisha and three other girls find they're pregnant - and the babies are growing at an alarming rate. As the news spreads around the tower its residents turn against them and the situation spirals toward violence. Keisha's life unravels as she realises that the pregnancy may not have just ruined her hopes for the future: she might be mother to the end of the world. The Fallen Children is a story of violation, of judgment and of young people who must fight to defy what is expected of them. The Fallen Children has one cover design but 360 different colourways. Each one is numbered from 1 to 360 on the spine. The colour you receive will be completely random.

I had the same issues with this book as I did with Memoirs of a Geisha, only this one was waaay worse. I always find it a bit sketchy when men write about how it feels to be pregnant, especially in teens. Although this was a cool concept, I didn't really enjoy the book. The ending is also set up for a sequel. #endoftheworldbookclub #books #pass

My copy of The Fallen Children came today 😍
I wasn't expecting green. I was hoping for blue. I think it's really cool that they printed it in 365 different colours. This is number 335.

jpmcwisemorgan Is the color of the book going to somehow be significant? Otherwise, why have 360 different colors? 8y
Moray_Reads It's strange that the book description doesn't mention that this is a rewrite of the Midwich Cuckoos... 8y
Chrissyreadit I can't find it anywhere to get more information. 8y
Dragon This sure sounds like another book I've read 8y
