Discussion Guide
1 for Welcome to the Ark...
In a world of random violence and multiplying militias,
four brilliant young misfits are thrown together in a group home for
troubled youth. Isolated by their special abilities, Miranda, Doug,
Taryn, and Elijah are unable to cope in a society that regards them as
freaks.
But in the experimental program they dub the Ark, the four
discover they are not alone. Slowly, as connections form among them,
they discover that their minds have a power they could never have
imagined. Drawn together by their deep concern for the future, they
embark on a mission to stop the violence that is engulfing the world.
The challenge seems impossible....
In this compelling, sensitively written story, Stephanie
Tolan paints a disturbing picture of a violence-ridden world. Yet her
characters offer a bright ray of hope for anyone who cares about the fate of
the earth. The story of the Ark is gripping, suspenseful,
heartbreaking, and, ultimately, inspiring.
