The Emmy Award nominee and Edgar Award-winning duo return readers to the postapocalyptic teen world, the Wasteland, in this thrilling sequel. Bestselling author of Criminal, Karen Slaughter, called Wasteland "a Lord of the Flies for future generations. An irresistible page-turner."

The former citizens of Prin are running out of time. The Source has been destroyed, so food is scarcer than ever. Tensions are rising . . . and then an earthquake hits.

With heart-pounding adventure and suspense, the stakes are even higher for Esther, Caleb, and the rest of their clan. They're pinning all their hopes on the road . . . but what if it's the most dangerous place of all?

      Grades 9-12 After the catastrophic events in Wasteland (2013), Esther and her partner, Caleb, see only a grim future in Prin, so they rally the remaining townspeople and depart for Mundreel, where people allegedly live well into their thirties. Aided by a blind guide, the teens learn valuable survival skills during the harrowing journey. Some plot points are a bit predictable, but well-rounded Esther is a brave, compelling hero and fiercely protective of her adopted son. The book offers a tantalizing glimpse of the origin of this future populated only by savage teens, but series fans will have to wait for the forthcoming third and final installment for real answers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)

      Esther and the residents of Prin set out on a bicycle-powered road trip in search of safety in the utopian city of Mundreel. The constant threats of violence, lack of provisions, and toxic rainwater mean that survival is unlikely for many. Readers of Wasteland won't find too many questions answered, though the vivid, brutal dystopian setting may please fans of darker fare.
