Old Bones

by Brad Knight

Frank had one rule for the end of the stay fed, stay moving, and stay out of other people’s business.

At sixty-five, with failing knees and a lifetime of regrets, he’s long given up on heroics. But when he stumbles across fifteen-year-old Maisie and her asthmatic little sister, Zoe—two kids trying to outrun a world where a single cough can wake the dead—Frank breaks his own rule.

He doesn’t want to lead. They don’t want to trust him. But danger forces them together, and the road ahead doesn’t care about age, fear, or good intentions.

Now Frank is guiding the girls toward a distant aunt and whispered rumors of a safe zone—on a trek that will test his body, challenge his beliefs, and demand a kind of courage he thought he’d buried long ago.

I enjoyed this so much I read all night and finished the book. I like how the author kept the story moving but didn’t reveal everything all at once
