Content: G (some danger)
BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SOME
Millie and Rose are only step-sibling, but share a baby brother. With their parent figures now gone and supplies rapidly dwindling, they make a bold move to strike out in search of Millie’s maternal grandmother - an Indigenous person. Walking their way in what they hope is the right direction, they happen upon a school bus of kids from a summer camp who are also trying to find their ways home. Danger lurks, however, in a group that calls themselves The Hive - a corporate conglomerate that has been hoarding supplies.
A decent upper elementary, middle grade post-apocalypse book. The danger is palpable without being bloody and graphic. There are not a wide variety of this genre for this age level - so could be a good choice for them.
