Place Setting
What is the setting (the place) where the book Phoenix Rising by Karen Hesse takes place?
I had to read this book for summer reading and i forgot my book at school could someone please tell me where the setting ( time, place, and general environment) in which the story takes place takes place.
Thanx LJ k! this link gonna help me a lot = )
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Hesse
By following the first link under External Links at this entry at Wiki, the one to 'Karen Hesse's page,' I see that the story takes place 'on a small Vermont (New England) sheep farm' not far from the 'Cookshire nuclear power plant,' at which an accident causes radioactive fallout.
No time is mentioned, though the book was published in 1994.
Good luck on your school work.
