| Summary |
"A Quiet Place meets Cormac McCarthy's The Road in this intense YA horror read. The world has been overrun by hitherto unknown beasts. Society has collapsed: the power is gone, cars are abandoned across the highways, and anyone left is hiding from the terrifying creatures -- and each other. Thirteen year-old Abdi and his five year-old sister Alva are on the run, their last hope to escape through the forest and to the sea. As they recall the strange events that led to the beasts' arrival, and how the two of them got to where they were, they must ask themselves who they can trust -- and what they will do to survive. From Norway comes an international hit that is shudderingly terrifying and deliciously original"-- |
