Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling the pressure of growing up and making difficult choices in a world that feels increasingly unpredictable. The story follows Sherry, a young woman who has spent her life in a bunker after a viral outbreak, as she finally steps into the dangerous world outside to find help for her family. It is a gripping exploration of independence, the loss of innocence, and the resilience required to survive when the rules of society have vanished. While the setting is a dystopian science fiction landscape filled with mutated monsters, the emotional core resonates with any teen grappling with the weight of responsibility and the need to trust their own instincts. Parents will appreciate how it frames courage not as the absence of fear, but as the willingness to act despite it, making it a compelling choice for readers aged 12 and up who enjoy high stakes and atmospheric storytelling.
