This was a late addition to the Gateway committee list and we didn’t get copies of this from the publisher. But it was voted high enough by those who did read it that it got added to the final 25 narrow down list that I needed to still read by January. This was one that definitely sounded good and I was not disappointed! I loved the way it had elements that made me think of shows like The Walking Dead, and other end of the world shows. While this didn’t have zombies, it did have the problems with the other people left alive. I loved how it all worked out and how even if you thought one thing was sorted it might not be. And if it seemed that all was lost and why bother, there was a reason to keep going. But it was a hard trip for the boys and totally worth it in the end.
