An asteroid is
hurtling toward California. Yuri, a Russian
physics genius, has been called to NASA
because he is working on a project with
antimatter that could win him the Nobel Prize.
But Yuri is 17 and can’t make older scientists
understand how to save the world. Then he
meets Dovie, an edgy teen who takes him on an
adventure and shows him the world is worth
saving. Note: This program is designed to
entice teens to read. In order to engage their
interest and to provide a spur to critical
thinking, the book selections include those
that involve sensitive issues. The content of
some of the titles may be more mature than
younger students may have previously
encountered. Please recognize that this is a
voluntary reading program. Not every book
selected will suit every student. In a
democratic society, a variety of ideas must
find voice. As readers, teens have the choice
to read the more mature titles or to close the
book. (Florida
