Only, if they don’t find a job, food rations will be decreased by half, and we all know how teens like to eat. It opens in a small town of 28 thousand, with fifteen year-old Benny and his best friend Lou Chong forced to look for jobs, the bane of countless teenagers during countless summers. I love me some apocalypse fiction, and when Trudi recommended this series, I knew I had to give it a go. At worst, they’re Cracker Jacks, caramel popcorn fun with a prize at the end. The genre is erroneously underrated the best zombie and apocalypse fiction is about wrestling with humanity, ethics and survival, with some hair-raising action to leaven the philosophy. I know, zombies, right? So passe, so early century, so urban fiction–so yawn for so many people. Recommended to Carol by: Trudi Stafford Read July 2012 ★ ★ ★ ★
