Praise for The Countdown Conspiracy:

With fleshed-out characters who are intelligent but act like preteens and teens, Slivensky’s action-packed narrative is about grappling with passions, insecurity, and questions of trust. The novel is well researched and perfect for readers interested in astrophysics or space travel.

The Seismic Seven

Brianna Dobson didn’t plan to spend her summer saving the world from total destruction. But what starts as an educational experience shadowing geologist Dr. Samantha Grier in Yellowstone National Park quickly becomes a race to stop a massive volcanic eruption the likes of which the humanity has never seen.

 

Seven kids. One supervolcano. One chance to save the world.

Praise for The Seismic Seven:

Slivensky masterfully blends geology and fantasy to create a provocative adventure that tests the skills, wits, maturity, and camaraderie of seven brave teens. Bri’s first-person account solidly relates the plot while allowing for the full development of all characters. Even readers with little science background will be pulled into this riveting story.

-Booklist

Plot twist after plot twist keeps the story moving at a fast pace until the end. ...An engaging adventure with a high-stakes plot and a timely message about preserving the environment.
