Since her parents' bitter divorce, McLean and her dad, a restaurant
consultant, have been on the move-four towns in two years. Estranged
from her mother and her mother's new family, McLean has followed her dad
in leaving the unhappy past behind. And each new place gives her a
chance to try out a new persona: from cheerleader to drama diva. But
now, for the first time, McLean discovers a desire to stay in one place
and just be herself, whoever that is. Perhaps Dave, the guy next door,
can help her find out.
Life As We Knew It meets Lord of the Flies in a mall that looks just like yours
A
biological bomb has just been discovered in the air ducts of a busy
suburban mall. At first nobody knows if it's even life threatening, but
then the entire complex is quarantined, people start getting sick,
supplies start running low, and there's no way out. Among the hundreds
of trapped shoppers are four teens.
These four different narrators,
each with their own stories, must cope in unique, surprising styles,
changing in ways they wouldn't have predicted, trying to find solace,
safety, and escape at a time when the adults are behaving badly.
This is a gripping look at people and how they can--and must--change under the most dire of circumstances.
And not always for the better.
