This Is Not a Test / Courtney Summers / 326 pages / November Challenge Zombies

How is it possible that Sloane Price looks better now than she did before the end of the world, before the zombies came?  She had decided to commit suicide.  Her mother is dead; her sister, Lily, is gone; and her dad beats her.  She doesn't want to live, and yet here she is fighting for survival with six other high school students who have barricaded themselves into Cortege High School. Somehow a teacher, Mr. Baxter, gets into the school.  Has he turend?  What are they going to do with him?  The radio says survivors are gathering in Raytown.  Should they risk the journey?  Is Lily back?  This is a very suspense-filled YA read.  The ending, however, left something to be desired.
