Fatal Harvest

by Vicki Wootton

Celeste Colbert is thirteen at the time of the first outbreak, living with her family in Vancouver. She experiences the loss of family members and friends, schools closing and orderly life in the city descending into anarchy. With a close-knit group of family and friends, Celeste leaves the city for a remote village in the hope they will be safe there to continue their struggle for survival. Imagine a world without electricity, transportation, supermarkets, telephones or any of the other amenities we are accustomed to in the early twenty-first century. After the world-wide epidemics of 2025 and 2026, this is what life is like in the Pacific northwest. There are no hospitals, governments or emergency services of any kind. Civilization has broken down and the survivors are on their own. The story follows Celeste through thirteen years, as she grows to maturity in a much different world.Suitable for readers of any age.

this book is actually the book i wanted to write. it's about a post-apocolyptic world (west coast based) where bands of mauruders cause chaos for those trying to survive a plaugue that wipes out most of the populations. the story follows a teenage girl and her friends and family as they journey away from the city to the countryside. along the way they find several communities trying to survive without modern ammenities. in the end the community they find is one that already had estabilished itself sustainably before the plague hit the main population. they share amazing ideas of ways that they have lived sustainably for years and will continue to years into the future.
