Warning- Read this book only if you have a lot of time available as you might not put it down.  *SPOILER ALERT* This story features a Hunger Games heroine in a Book of Eli type world.  A flu epidemic has wiped out most of the adult population of the USA, and chaos is what is left.  One couple prepared their children for an end-of-the-world situation and now it's up to them to use their knowledge to survive in this new world.  The story is suspenseful and well-written.  I am a wimp, and so I didn't want to read it before bed late at night as I wasn't sure what was going to happen.  While there is death and murder, I was glad that it wasn't graphic violence, and while there were references to teenagers using drugs it did not describe anyone actually doing it.  I think it would be appropriate for mature YA.  The ending was sad because I cared about the characters and it left me wondering what happens next.
