Perry Michael The Scavengers, 322 p. Harper, 2014.
$17. Language: G; Mature Content: G; Violence: PG.
When she
was little, Maggie and her family ran for their lives from the Bubble Cities
and the total control of the central government. While their living has
been meager, at least they have lived relatively free. Their home is
surrounded by GreyDevils, ever-hungry former humans, who make mving outside
their immediate area dangerous. With a few neighbors, however, they eke
out an existence - until the day both of her parents disappear and Dookie is so
traumatized, he can barely speak any more. Maggie is determined to find
out what happened to her parents and to make her life better. Even if
means confronting the government in their own territory. This is a nice,
younger dystopian - still gritty and dangerous, but not as outwardly evil as
The Hunger Games. I find the cover a bit off-putting, however, so i will
probably have to hand sell it.
EL - OPTIONAL. MS - ADVISABLE.
