About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to question the competence of authority figures or feels like the 'rules' of the world are changing faster than adults will admit. While it features zombies, the heart of the story is about three children navigating a world where the adults are distracted by corporate secrets, grief, or denial. It provides a safe space to explore themes of bravery, skepticism, and the importance of taking initiative when you see a problem others ignore. This is an ideal pick for middle-grade readers who enjoy high-stakes survival stories but are also ready for more nuanced discussions about trust and societal responsibility. It balances spooky action with a grounded look at how kids step up when they feel their voices aren't being heard.
