Dead City by James Ponti

5.0

This is a lot of fun! It's really difficult to write a tween's "voice" well without getting annoying or grating quickly, but Molly's personality is great and the way we're in her head from a first-person narrator is really easy to get swept along with. There's a bit too much "not-like-other-girls-I'm-not-cool-like-other-girls-I'm-a-nerd"-ing for my taste, BUT it's a forgivable amount for middle-grade, honestly. The way the "Zombie world" is revealed is super engaging.

I would have been OBSESSED with this as a middle-schooler, and even as an adult I really recommend this for anyone who wants a unique, sometimes-silly, high-energy adventure!
