The Warning by Kristy Acevedo Discussion Guide

The end is coming. How do you live, and how far would you go to save yourself and the ones you love? A compelling dystopian novel for anyone who’s ever felt like their life—their world—is on the brink of imploding.

Alexandra Lucas’ anxiety disorder was enough to deal with, then mysterious holographic doors suddenly appeared throughout the world, heralding the end of the earth. A recording plays on loop: Heed the warning and step through a portal-like vertex to safety…or stay and be destroyed by a comet that is on a collision course with the planet. The holograms claim to be humans from the future offering the promise of safety. But without the ability to verify their story, Alex is forced to consider what is best for her friends, her family, and herself.

Stay or go—everyone must make their own choice. With the deadline of the hologram’s prophecy fast approaching, Alex feels as though she’s living on a ticking time bomb. But the truth is much, much worse. And every decision comes at a price.
