Great for more advanced readers.

I remember reading this child when I was younger but at that time it didn't really do any fireworks for me. The majority that I could remember was that there was a dying room and the cover, which is interesting in and of itself. And so when I was presented with this book again I chose to buy it while it has begged me to read it in the last few days without letting up.

First of all the story is generic for young adults but also a fast yet easy read that will grasp your attention from page one to the closing of the book. To truly grasp the depth of the book, though, I would recommend it to older teens and young adults rather than pre-teens.

The author has done a wonderful job in portraying the characters by building them with depth then adding to them emotional richness. They interact just the way that you believe them to and stay remarkably human even in the face of odds that we are able to barely grasp but will have to one day or another due to our own timeframe.

I love that even as a generic book "Phoenix Rising" covers a whole width of lessons and that as we get older we will be able to more deeply enjoy these lessons, their variety and the wealth that they will stir in us. And that no matter how many time we will end up reading it there will always be a grain of treasure that our own wearied and battered hearts can collect to hold near.... ( )

A very thought-provoking book about the aftermath of a disaster at a nuclear reactor, affecting a large portion of the northeastern U.S. This is the story of a girl living just outside the contaminated zone, and how her life changes after the disaster. The characters were interesting, with good development. The theme that stays with me after reading Phoenix Rising is that of how the effects of the disaster are long-term, and will never go away for the people involved, while the government tries to distance itself from the situation and the rest of the world loses interest.

Pheonix Rising is the story of a young girl named Nyle. Pheonix Rising takes place in a small farm town after a big nuclear power plant explosion.
nyle and her grandmother live near the powe plant and have to watch especialy what they eat and drink, and they have to wear masks to prevent radiation poisoning. Nyle has lost so much in the acciddent and has seen so much suffering, that she has sworn never to love again. But when Nyle's grandmother decides to take in a family pushed out of their homes after the explosion, all that changes for Nyle. The famialy they takr on. Has a very sick boy and his mother. The boy slowy works his way to health,and to Nyle's heart. The boy begins to go to school again and all seems fine. One day a mean biy pushes Nyle around, a the boy stands up for her, and in this fight, he is nearlly killed. At the hospitle we see that t he boy. Had cancer all alonag and did not tell for fear of sorrow and oain on Nyle's part. While saddened by losing him, Nyle lets him go as she realizes that not all things last forever, and its best to Make good use of what youh have.

REVIEW - I have mixed feelings about this book. In this book we see a happy time, and love and peace through all the pain of that time. Yet in the end, sorry, and a somber morale finish off this book. reading Pheonix Rising makes you really think of what is imoortant in life, and what is worth having. at the end of this story I thought, reflecting on Nyle's thoughts on sparing herself the pain of losing something she loves, is it rreally worth living your life without pain or sorrow, if you never experience the joy of laughter and love? Nyle thinks of a Pheonix, rising out of its own ashes, mighty snd strong, snd that is the way she feels she must be, rising triumphant over her hardships, not forgetting them, but accepting them and moving on, ready to love again, because you only live once. I would suggest this book for people who need a lift in spirit, people lost, needing to accept love, or anyone else looking for a good read. i thouroughly enjoyed this story. ( )
