Hello Readers,
Thank you, NetGalley for the chance to read this ebook for free in
exchange for an honest review.
The Junior Braves of Tribe 65 are off on a
camping trip to celebrate spring break, after a week of roughing it and learning survival skills from their leader they return home. But, nothing could possibly prepare them for
what they face upon their return to their hometown: everyone they love is gone,
and instead, the streets are filled with mutant zombies. Now they must use the skills they have learnt
to stay alive and figure out what happened to their families. Things quickly
get scary when they are unlucky enough to get separated from their tribe
leader. If the boys are going to figure out what happened to their town
and their families, they’re going to have to stick together and use everything
they know. The book even manages to sneak in some actual survival knowledge.
The plot itself is pretty solid and the
characters are well developed. The group of boys consist of an extensive range
of personalities that aren’t stereotypically boring as they have well
written personalities and are physically recognizable from the start
of the book.
The zombie apocalypse theme isn’t
particularly new but watching these kids try to deal with the remainder of
humanity is engaging. The artwork, with its gruesome depictions of the zombies
and sparse colours, really helps to tell the story. Also, credit where its due
it manages to steer clear of overt graphic violence and uses no profanity. And
the story didn’t suffer one bit. They honestly wrote a tense, scary, exciting
story without relying on shock gore or over the top language its honestly
brilliant.
Its and interesting read and worth a look
if you would like to see a more innocent (so to speak) look into a zombie/mutant
apocalypse
