Atherton: The Dark Planet, by Patrick CarmanYoung Adult, 2009
In this third and final book of Atherton, Edgar and his friends embark on further adventures on the planet of Atherton- a world created by Dr. Max Harding as a refuge for the people of the failing planet Earth. By the third book Atherton has evolved into its final state, or so Edgar thinks, until he finds a way to return to the Dark Planet where pollution has made living toxic and where children are made to suffer from the pollution and the terrible disorder that has descended on the world.
First, I would like to recommend the entire Atherton series, starting with House of Power. The characters develop well throughout all three novels and while the science of the books is a little bit over the top (as in unrealistic in my point of view) it is fun and creative and interesting. The plot keeps moving and keeps you involved while amazing you as you see deeper into the mind of Dr. Harding and what his great purpose was in creating Atherton.
Grade (for Dark Planet): B+
