"This is just like Lord of the Flies meets the Hunger Games." Only teenagers are left in this dystopian brave new world. A super virus killed all the kids and adults, and continues to wipe out the teens on their eighteenth birthday. With the eradication of adults, except for one old man, civilization comes to a standstill, as everyone with knowledge of how to run things is deceased. The young are fighting for their very existence. A few brave members of one New York tribe embark on what could be a suicide mission to save the world - Jefferson, Donna, Peter, Brainbox, and See Through. Along the way they are attacked by human-eating ghosts at the New York Public Library! Although the above quote is an apt description for this book, some of the dialogue was lost on me as I wasn't up on the current slang, clichés, or kitschy language.
"We can't blame God for the things people do."
"The only constant is change."
