she is more like this troll creature, crouching warily and snatching for food. she is living alone in central park in a shelter she built herself, struggling with the day-to-day necessities of survival (including tsunami-avoidance), dirty and stinky and wounded and not at all the way the front cover would have you believe. her family have all died from the virulent strain of smallpox that wiped out most of the world. this one is grouped in my mind with the susan beth pfeffer last survivors trilogy, which means it is conceptually strong, but is unrealistic in its portrayal of human response. and there are some good ones and there are some bad ones. i'm not even hiding in the shadows about it anymore. Hi, have we just met? if so, let me tell you that i love large-scale survival stories and i love teen dystopian novels.
This book had a lot of potential, but ultimately it just didn't win me over.
