The end of the world is the weirdest time to come of age.
Welcome to the end of the world. One minute, people are going about
their lives, and the next--not. In the wake of the inexplicable purge,
only a handful of young misfits remains.
When it all went down, "Wizard of Odd" Dev Brinkman was seeking shelter
from the taunts of his classmates. Goth girl Lucy Abernathy had lost her
best friend and had no clue where to turn. And Twinkie-loving
quarterback "Marcus" Haddad was learning why you never discuss politics
and religion in polite company--or online.
As if life when you're sixteen isn't confusing enough, throw in the
challenges of postapocalyptic subsistence, a case of survivor's guilt
turned up to seven billion, and the small task of rebuilding
humankind...
No one said doomsday would be a breeze. But for Dev, Lucy, and Marcus,
the greatest hope--and greatest threat--will come when they find each
other.
