The reason people can survive in the Ark is because Noa knows how to make fresh drinking water out of the seawater. Hence the only people surviving are the people living in Ark (who believed in John Noa from the very beginning), and those outside the town walls trying to live off whatever Ark can spare for them. When politicians and world leaders refuse to pay heed to the dangers of global warming, John Noa decides to build a place (Ark) that can survive the flood. Inspired by the biblical Noah’s Ark, The List is about a place called the Ark, set in the distant future in a post-apocalyptic world where the earth is almost destroyed due to global warming that resulted in the melting of the polar ice caps and other catastrophes. She is a huge fan of dystopian literature, and this book has a pretty unique setting. The moment I started reading, I understood why she wanted me to read this book so much. So this week, I put aside all my other reading and sat down with her book. However, when she renewed the book for a third week in a row (this is a very big deal for her, because given a chance she would check out new books for herself, to read every day), I realized I would be letting her down if I did not read it. Honestly, I had my own set of books to finish, and I was not really in the mood for a middle-school grade level book. While I did promise her that I will, I never found the time for it. When my middle-school daughter read The List by Patricia Forde, she loved it so much that she borrowed the book for an additional week, so I could read it.
