The post-apocalyptic tale of one girl's efforts to survive alone in a devastated town-and what happens when a mysterious stranger appears-from Newbery Award-winning author, Robert C. O'Brien, is now a major motion picture starring Margot Robbie, Chris Pine, and Chiwetel Ejiofor! Ann Burden is completely alone. The world as she once knew it is gone, ravaged by a nuclear war that has taken everyone from her. For the past year, she has lived in a remote valley with no evidence of any other survivors. But the smoke from a distant campfire shatters Ann's solitude. Someone else is still alive and making his way toward the valley. Who is this man? What does he want? Can he be trusted? Both excited and terrified, Ann soon realizes there may be worse things than being the last person on Earth.

This was a quick read. Good story but I am still trying to figure out who Zachariah was. No one in the story named that. LOL

Very interesting
A very good read and especially for mid-teens child. Thought-provoking.

No, thanks
I suppose it's not entirely depressing and dismal - the first line is "I am afraid," and the last line is "I am hopeful." But it's just another one in the parade of adolescent literature that deals with catastrophe and angst. The characters are not impressive. They do not grow. The premise is interesting - all of world destroyed except for the first-person narrator and then the man who comes to the valley. But the overall feeling is one of oppression rather than freedom. I'm not looking for books to preach or to be sappy, but surely this joyless soliloquoy is not the only alternative.
