ABIGAIL’S FAMILY BELIEVED THE END OF THE WORLD WAS COMING. BUT IT DIDN’T… IT WASN’T COMING. Abigail’s family believed the end of the world was coming. Of course, that never happened. But they still lost everything. Now they lived in their caravan on the streets of San Francisco, thousands of miles from home. They ate their meals at the church soup kitchen and bathed in public restrooms. When the police came knocking on their windows, they would move the caravan to another parking lot. Abigail’s twin brother, Aaron, went out into the unknown every night, filled with rage. This was all the normal life they had left. Abigail believed she could change things, even though everything was going wrong. Even though her mother and father made mistake after mistake, she could keep her family from falling apart. She could save everyone… Or was it time to save only herself? Bryan Bliss’s debut novel, Parking Is Forbidden When the Apocalypse Strikes, is a lesson in what we can do when we lose everything and what we are willing to risk for the ones we love. “In her debut novel, Bliss masterfully explores the power of family, sacrifice, and faith.” Horn Book Magazine “The journey of redemption of a young girl whose family left her halfway through, who comes to understand the truth and overcomes her self-confidence issues, deeply moved me. I eagerly await Bryan Bliss’s next books.” Sara Zarr “This heartwarming story, with its charming prose, will inspire many young readers to discover themselves.” Kirkus Reviews “Bliss’s time spent with young people is also reflected in the story, because the characters are not ordinary teenagers, but real people dealing with their own unique problems.” Minneapolis Star Tribune “As Abigail questions her faith, her family’s sanity, and the bond she shares with her brother, Bliss’s story focuses on the turmoil within her.” Publishers Weekly
