Together, they have learned how to survive in this devastated world.Until people start to change.Scout allies herself with Singer, the shy boy with the gentle soul and melodic voice. Together they must find a cure for whatever is changing normal people into mindless, murderous creatures. They quickly learn that the biggest threat to their survival comes not from the wasted world outside, but from each other."Kettlehake refrains from filling each chapter with gory scenes reminiscent of World War Z, instead showing Scout, Lord, and their cohorts in a distinctly human light ... A stylish and compassionate tale ..." - Kirkus Reviews
