After Tomorrow
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Armageddon Monday was the day that five banks crashed simultaneously, changed everything. Now there’s no food in the supermarkets, Matt's Mum is growing or bartering what they need to stay alive, and armed gangs are hunting down hoarders. After their house is raided twice, Mum decides enough is enough: her friend Bob can smuggle them to France, where life may be better. But the plan goes wrong when Matt, his younger brother Taco and stepdad Justin are forced to leave Mum behind, and leave their home with nothing but their clothes - and Matt's bike. In France, they find themselves living in a refugee camp, with no home, no money and no Mum.
Determined and resourceful, Matt uses his bike-fixing skills to earn money and help his brother when he falls ill, making new friends and shedding unreliable ones. There is danger on all sides in this vivid, fast-moving and compellingly believable post-crash novel.

We have just started reading this at school, the teacher reads it and I shouldn't skip ahead but I do because I love it and really want to see what will happen! When the books were handed out I thought it was going to be really boring but it's not! I like Taco best.

I was really into the book after the first couple of pages and I really wanted to know what would happen next. Where would they end up? Would they survive? Would the raiders come back? The intensity and mystery was kept up through most of the book apart from the end which I thought was a major disappointment. I would definitely rate this book higher if it tied everything up clearly. If you like a book which leaves you thinking, After Tomorrow is definitely for you!

This is a great book, I loved it. The story moved at a brisk pace and always had me on the edge of my seat. It was very descriptive of the characters and it gave you a very good insight on how hard it is when survival is your only option. I've read previous reviews on this book and it made me want to read it. if anybody loves a very fast moving, action story then this is the book for you.

the book is really good and it has given me a wide range of vocabulary to use in my writing. I find it quite funny that his brother is called "Taco" though.

After tomorrow is a GREAT book about a boy who travels to France with his younger brother and stepdad after being burgled but the story has lots of twists and turns. I think after tomorrow is one of the best books that I have ever read.

After Tomorrow by Adam Anthony This book astonished, me I have only read a handful of proper books in my life time but this is by far the best. After Tomorrow has a crisp intro.The opening is quite dramatic because they are trying to save as much food and resources as they can because the banks have just crashed and everybody is in shear panic because robbers are roaming the streets in search of food. These events follow on from each other like a river to the sea, it is so well passed from...

Plot The story is about a family living off the land in a struggle with survival. They had a home in England but had to leave because they were getting robbed by raiders wanting food. After having to be split up trying to get on the bus to go to France. When they got to France they had to survive with very little help. The unusual thing I found about the book is that no one was willing to help them when they got to France. Characters The characters were Matt, Taco, Ali, Justin, Bob, Paige ...

What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and everything changed? After Tomorrow is an action novel, set in Dystopian England. In this story the characters are Matt, his younger brother Taco, their mum and step-dad Justin. I think my favourite character is Taco because he always seems very curious like me. In this terrible age money is worthless, their friends are gone, food is rare to come across for most families and armed robbers roam the streets, stealing other people's possessions and...

Don’t be fooled into thinking this is just another dystopian novel; this is an extremely plausible story set in a world where the banks have collapsed and money is worthless. With a strong plot and believable characters, this is a real page-turner.

This was an enthralling read due to the amazing plot twists and cliff hangers. The cliff hanger where the situation does not actually resolve made me crave for more. Overall, a true amazing book
