Into The City by E.J. Cook

4.0

Into the City is a Young Adult novel about a pandemic that has wiped out the adult population, leaving children of various ages fighting for survival, and how one teenaged girl must save her friends from a particularly dangerous group of children. This dystopian world is carefully thought out, and the darker side of human nature is explored. Some scenes are eerie and grotesque. The prose, the characters' perspectives, and their behaviours are consistent with how children would think and act. One interesting group of children may be further explained in future books in the series. Into the City is a believable dystopia that keeps the reader turning the pages.
