I am sad to say, this didn't hold up for me. Read it as a kid, then bought it to read to my son. I didn't get past the point of having to explain that a character is effectively kidnapped and involuntarily impregnated. Might be a minor plot point to many, but it didn't sit well with me. Even had I not been reading to a child, I'm not sure I would have made it farther.

I love this book! This is one of the first dystopian sci-fi novels I read as a child. I bought a couple other books by HM Hoover as well. These books are somewhat similar to City of Ember. These are a great read for kids and adults too.

I loved this book as a youth and read it many times. On a whim, I looked in Amazon to see whether it was still out there and was delighted to find it (albeit from my era - not in print anymore). The book is dreamlike - a bit like fantasy/SF of the era but not sterile - it has alot of heart. I am happy to have found it and add it to my library as I approach fifty (oy vey!). Too bad it is not still in print, but perhaps for this generation's serial approach to just about everything (Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, movies, video games, etc.), this book would lose some allure because it simply is what it is - a single volume of vision and adventure.

1970's classic sci-fi that we destroy ourselves and what kind of civilizations come out after that. HM. Hoover is a wonderful storyteller that makes you care about the characters. I also love the contrast of the two civilizations and use it in my government curriculum to show two different types of dictatorships and what checks and balances are.

When I was a tween, I found this book in our local library. I was doing a summer reading program, so I picked it up. This started my life long love of anything H.M. Hoover. I must have read it 15 times as a teen. Now I have my own children and wish them to find the joy I found in Hoover's writing. Hoover's books are VERY hard to find, and not really in libraries anymore. I was excited to find Children of Morrow on Amazon and purchase it to re-read and also for my children. Great story, wonderful author.

A childhood favorite. I read this over and over as a teen. So glad I was able to find a copy. Post-apocalyptic YA-fiction from before the genre was so prolific.

I read this book many years ago, whilst still at school and I still love it.
Tia and Rabbit are considered odd by their primitive post-apocolyptic community. They share the same dreams of a far more civilised community and wish to escape their home, where Tia is considered a blasphemous witch. Several hundred miles away, Ashira and Varas reside, their telepathic powers recieving Tia and Rabbit's thoughts and wondering where they are. After Rabbit accidently kills the head cook, they have to run. Guided by Ashira and Varas, they must make their way to the sea and safety.
HM Hoover has created a wonderfully absorbing tale, full of danger and wonder. She paints the picture of a world completely changed by ecological disaster and presents it in a believable and engaging way. The characters seize your attention and keep hold. The adults are as well drawn as the children and rouse either your sympathy or hatred. I finally found a copy of this tale and would love it to be re-released for this generation of children.

I couldn't remember the title of this book for anything; after much investigating though, I'm so glad to have finally found it. I read Children Of Morrow several times, while in middle school. I haven't read a book since that time, that caused my heart to race so. This book had become such a part of my psyche (to this day, if I see a jar of honey or mushrooms in my garden, I think about Tia and Rabbit on the run). I'm now 42, and have recently come out of a cult that I was a member of for 18 years. This was a faith-based "Christian" organization. Had I read the book as an adult, I might not have found myself wrapped up in the dogma of the church. However, now that I'm free, I've returned to the Old Religion of Wicca. I've rediscovered the spiritual realm. I'm going to read the book again as soon as I can find a copy. There's a very deep and spiritual message in the story...a message of survival and the realization of self. It would make a great feature film.
