Okay zombie lovers, this one is for you. Courtney Summers brings the zombie apocalypse to a group of high school kids (parents, there is a bit of cursing in the book. Given the circumstances, it seemed understandable. Now that I think of it, the same goes for Yancy's books). Summers adds in additional drama by making her main character already be trapped inside a nightmare of an abusive home. Her older sister has just abandoned her, and she has no outlet of support because her shame and fear have caused her to isolate herself for so long. In fact, she is contemplating suicide until the world begins to fall apart. It causes her, and readers, to reflect on life and hopefully appreciate it. Overall, I enjoyed it.

Note From Ms. PIt will probably come as no surprise that I am an avid reader. I have also been spending a lot of time in the Dawn Hodges Library here at WAAS evaluating what books we can add to have students really READING. Some of you already read on your own, which is great because reading opens your mind to new ideas and possibilities you might not otherwise think of. It helps you to imagine and live in a new world for a little while, which is something we all need sometimes. Archives
