13yo Henry loves his extended family and their family farm, even his uncle with the weird ideas. While his dad goes to his job as the director of the Portland OR zoo, his mom runs everyone else - her 10 sibs, their significant others, and all the cousins. Then an EMP hits the US and life changes forever. 4 months Dad has not returned from the zoo and a wall of cars separates the farm and the rest of the valley from the outside world. They are some of the few who have electricity, because his uncle’s forethought. But their cushy valley lie is under threat by outsiders who covet “Wonderland”.
Display this next to Eric Walter’s Rule of Three series and a few other apocalypse books. The author builds up a dreamy world of successful life after a disaster, community coming together, and the drops a bomb on Henry, spinning his life out of control. Great stuff.
