For fourteen-year-old Callie, life is perfect. She can drive a Humvee, take anything she wants from stores, play with explosives, and keep library books forever. She can spend hours watching movies with the other kids in the clan or just tinkering with her machines. So what if there are only nineteen people left on earth? The Fixer virus was fourteen whole years ago and it’s not like it was the end of the world or anything.
But then Fixer returns, leaving the only remaining adult in a coma. To save her clan, Callie must lead three friends on a desperate quest across the wilds of the United States. If Callie can cross rivers with collapsed bridges, survive landslides, escape wolves and bears and giant pythons and tiny frogs, make it to the lab where Fixer was created, recover the antidote, and race back home before time runs out, she saves the world. If she fails, the last little flame of humanity gets snuffed out forever.
Perfect time to read this book. It was a birthday gift to my daughter who loved it and passed to to my son who insisted I read it. The story is full of the bravery and adventure that young teens crave. It also happened to fall that I finished the book at the beginning of the US COVID-19 Shutdown. It was a great talking piece for my kiddos and allowed them the opportunity to think thru truly worst case scenarios and come out on top and with hope. Highly recommend this book for ages 10-16.
Wonderful book I really recommend it, humour action romance and makes you think what more do you think. If I were the author I would charge for it but he hasn't.
YA/Teen Science Fiction done right. A well though out plot with well developed characters. The author offers the first half of this book online for free and by the end of the first chapter, I had already decided to purchase the entire book. The story is about an end of the world scenario where only 19 (18 kids aged 14 and one guardian) people populate the earth. An emergency takes 4 of the children on a quest and the adventures they have are both fun and frightening. I highly recommend this book to anyone.
