Her quest to have Joshua help find her father and rescue her family from the bunker is fraught with violent and bloody clashes with Weepers and raises more questions than are answered about their humanness and the government’s role in their development. Joshua drives Sherry to Safe-haven, an abandoned winery outside the city, where other survivors have gathered. Saved from the same fate by a teen vigilante named Joshua, Sherry learns about the Weepers, who evolved into human predators after the mysterious rabies outbreak three years earlier. The gloomy setting launches a fast-moving tale of survival as Sherry’s father is snatched out of a deserted Walmart by grotesque-looking and terrifying creatures. In the light of day, they see the skyline of a bombed city and bodies strewn near deserted neighborhood bunkers. Armed and at their breaking point (no rations and a deceased grandfather in the freezer), the 15-year-old and her father venture out to find food and help. She and her family are bunkered by the military after a rabies outbreak and have been receiving sporadic radio warnings to stay put. Gr 8-10–It’s been 1141 days since Sherry has seen daylight in a postapocalyptic Los Angeles.
