Synopsis

Jesse and a ragged band of survivors crawl through the wreckage of New York City. They escaped the Chasers, but the infected zombie freaks are getting bolder and stronger. So when they begin to see signs of human life, they can't believe their luck. Of course, luck can be good or bad and the enemy could be closer than your reflection in the mirror.

Is Survivor appropriate for my child?

Suitable for most readers 16 and up.

Post-apocalyptic zombie thriller with strong violence, infected 'Chasers,' survival horror elements, and suspenseful betrayal themes. Language is likely moderately strong given the mature dystopian setting.

This book has strong violence, no sexual content, and moderate language. Content notes include graphic violence, gore, death, and mass death (see the full list above).

Who'll love this
