Review: Great book--Why did children survive and most adults die?
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 2, 2013
When a poison is released, 300 children live while most of Americans are killed.  A few adults also live because of where they were when the release happened.  This is the story of how they managed to get together, and the hardships and struggles they encountered in an almost empty country strewn with corpses.  There are a lot of characters involved in the book, but the author does a good job of developing them.  Two dogs also survive for the same reason the children lived.  This tale is so gripping that I could not put it down, and was reluctant to come to its ending, but I was glad that it did have a happy ending.  This author did an excellent job writing such a great and unusual book, and I am looking forward to reading future books she writes!!
