Crewe, Megan, The Lives We Lost. Hyperion,
2013. Pgs. 276. Language: R (33 swears, 5 “f”s), Violence: PG-13, Sexual
Content: PG
Kaelyn’s island and its residents
have been ravaged by a deadly virus. Communication has been cut of. On a
scavenging spree, she finds a vaccine her father was working on. She knows she
must get this to someone who can replicate it. Soon, she sets off with her
friends on a cross-country fight for survival. Will she be able t get the
vaccine to the right people? What dangers await them?
Although the storytelling is a
little choppy, the characters are distinct and easy to sympathize with. This
page-gripping series will keep you reading and wishing for Kaelyn’s survival.
Due to language and violence it is best for older teens and adults. HS. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Jessica Moody,
