Inside, assailed by mysterious forces, doctors and patients are left to remember the world they've lost and imagine one to come. At the center, a young medical student finds herself gifted with strange powers and a frightening destiny.

Simultaneously epic and intimate, wildly imaginative and unexpectedly relevant, THE CHILDREN'S HOSPTIAL is a work of stunning scope, mesmerizing detail, and wrenching emotion.

Staff Review:
It's a big book. It's a heavy book. This might be enough to turn you off. Don't let it. Chris' book is almost perfect. The world has ended in flood. All that has been saved is a hospital that floats upon the water filled with sick children, parents and doctors.

Children's Hospital takes you on a journey of the end of the world. People question life, religion, politics, love. It felt very true, the struggle between old world values and creating a new world. The book mainly follows Jemma, a medical student that seems followed by death. Through her eyes we watch a story unfold that is at times truly fantastic and at others completely believable.

The book is well written, shifting through past and present almost seamlessly. There is magic, love, politics, religion, thrill, mystery. I felt it combines the best of many genres. I found myself looking forward to being able to sit down and read. The Children's Hospital will remain on my shelf and be read at least a few more times.
