A deadly virus killed every adult on Earth, leaving only the kids behind. With her parents gone, Lisa is responsible for her little brother, Todd. She has to make sure they stay alive. Many kids are sick or starving, and fierce gangs are stealing and destroying everything they find. Lots of people have given up, but on Grand Avenue, some kids are surviving. Because of Lisa. Lisa figured out how to give the kids on Grand Avenue food, homes, and protection against the gangs. But Tom Logan and his army are determined to take that away and rule the streets themselves. How long can Lisa's group keep fighting them off? They need to find a place to live safely. A strong place. A secret place. In a world like this, someone has to take charge. But does Lisa have the strength to take charge of a whole city?

Propaganda

I disliked this book. It felt like political propaganda for kids. The dialogue was outdated, as were the characters.

book is better was disappointed. over all 4*

narrator I thought was awesome... I'll have to listen to it again, I think there was some stuff missing, I'll have to see if I can find my physical copy as well.

1 credit for a 1 hour book is crazy

Too short, seems like a shorter version of the original that i read in high school

Good Story Too Short

Great story, great Narraration and good pace in dialogue. I just wish it went into a little bit more detail. It costs $10 for an hour worth of my time. That's how much I make in an hour. Great for children and not too adult.

Abridged

Didn’t realize this was abridged. The original book was much better. Still a good story
