17yo Clementine is a teenager looking to put her traumatic past behind her. All she really knows is that she wants to journey North, though her crutches and amputated leg make it difficult. Clementine meets a naive Amish boy named Amos, who she reluctantly travels with to Vermont. There they meet up with other teens who are trying to build a walker-free settlement in the frozen snow.
Clementine is a downer of a book, though perhaps knowing this is a post-apocalyptic zombie read, you wouldn’t be expecting sunshine and flowers. Clementine is carrying a lot of baggage and none of the characters are particularly likeable. The world she inhabits is gloomy and depressing. The ending is a bummer and the black and white drawings make it a little tricky to follow the storyline. However, fans of The Walking Dead will most likely eat it up like zombies on brains.
Clementine seems to be white; the other characters have a variety of skin tones, but that has little to do with the action.
