Young Adult Paranormal
Their families dead from the pandemic SitkaAZ13, known as
“Pest,” 15-year-old cheerleader Clare and 13-year-old chess
club member Jem, an unlikely pair, are thrown together and
realize that, if either of them wishes to reach adulthood,
they must find a cure. A shadowy adult broadcasting on the
radio to all orphaned children promises just that—to cure
children once they grow into Pest, then to feed them and to
care for them. Or does this adult have something else in mind?
Against a hostile landscape of rotting cities and of a
countryside infected by corpses and roamed by voracious
diseased survivors, Jem and Clare make their bid for life
and, with their group of fellow child-travelers growing,
embark on a journey to find the grownup they believe holds
the cure. Their only weapon is Clare’s dog, Bear.
But Clare and Jem, as well as their followers, are hampered
by the knowledge that everything in this new child-led world
had become suspect—the love of diseased adults, alliances,
trust, hope. As Clare and Jem learn to stitch wounds, skin
deer and survive in the ashes of the old world perhaps it is
no surprise that they begin to find that friendship is as
redemptive as anything they seek—that friendship has its own
kind of healing power. And, at the end of their journey, in
the face of the ultimate betrayal, they discover that out of
friendship can come love.
