genre: YA futuristic, SciFi
Loved this! Reader McKenna brought the story to life amazingly well, as Nadia and her little brother Rabbit set out from Seattle to meet their uncle Bean and their Grandpa in West Virgina. The deadly virus BluStar has decimated more than 90% of the human population. Roving gangs have wreaked yet more havoc. Their trip is fraught with dangers (both natural and human) and small joys. What a wonderful piece of storytelling! I am buying the book for my media center asap!
The kids' dad died overseas in combat. Their mom was a nurse who resented the military life that claimed her husband. Zach is a surprising hero. Wanted to write down the dog's name . . . but I may have to re-listen to get it. Something like "tiwocky" - it was an acronym. Relistened - it's Teotwawki "tee-oh-twocky" - The End Of The World As We Know It.
Wonderful book!
