Blurb:
Sleep will come for them.
For the past twenty years, every child has fallen into an
endless coma on the night of their 10th birthday. Families are broken apart.
Society is forever altered. And now, the human race itself is marching toward
extinction.
Until Kevin Fraser wakes up.
With one Fraser child awake and the other rapidly
approaching his 10th birthday, his family — and the world — holds its breath.
Is this the sign of the plague finally ending, or will the walls start closing
around the Frasers as the burden of receiving this cosmic gift becomes too
heavy for them to bear?
My Review:
Every child in the country slips into a coma on his or her
birthday at the age of ten. No one knows why. Every parent knows that this day
will come for their child but they try to make the best of the time they have
with their children.
The Little Tragedy is about a mother and father with one son
lying in a coma and waiting for their other son to slip in a coma as well on
his tenth birthday. Laura and Stephen knew the day they decided to have a child
what would happen but they chose to have a child and give it the best ten years
of their life.
The Little Tragedy tells how one little boy deals with his
older brother being in a coma and that he is next. The Little Tragedy tells
nine-year-old Ryan’s story about the days leading up to his tenth birthday of
how he dealt with it all.
The Little Tragedy is a fast paced read that grabbed my attention
from the beginning and didn’t let go until I had read the last page if then. It
tells how strong a parent’s love is for a child and what they would do for
their children and how far they would go to protect their child no matter what
the cost is to them. Stephen and Laura always put the lives and care of their
sons before their own.
The Little Tragedy is a very intense read that will pull at
the old heart strings choking you up at times and so mad at other times. While
I do believe that The Little Tragedy closed one chapter in Laura, Stephen,
Kevin and Ryan’s life I still think they have more to say. I still have so many
questions that were not answered leaving me wanting more. I hope this is not
the last that we see of The Little Tragedy and its characters and of this
world.
Do I recommend The Little Tragedy? Oh yeah you bet I do.
