This book is a post apocalyptic story about how a disease kills almost everyone on Earth and there are a few survivors left that are doing everything they can to live. I can relate to how Lucy felt when she went to the new community and she didn't know what to do because she didn't know anyone there, I felt that when I went to a new school and I was really confused and didn't know what to do. I really liked the book, I think that the book is really frightening because it makes you feel like it would actually happen and our society would be in ruins, just like in the book.

A thrilling tale of adventure, romance, and one girl's unyielding courage through the darkest of nightmares.
Epidemics, floods, droughts--for sixteen-year-old Lucy, the end of the world came and went, taking 99% of the population with it. As the weather continues to rage out of control, and Sweepers clean the streets of plague victims, Lucy survives alone in the wilds of Central Park. But when she's rescued from a pack of hunting dogs by a mysterious boy named Aidan, she reluctantly realizes she can't continue on her own. She joins his band of survivors, yet a new danger awaits her: the Sweepers are looking for her. There's something special about Lucy, and they will stop at nothing to have her.
