Guardians
By Susan Kim & Laurence Klavan
The Emmy Award-nominated and Edgar Award-winning duo of Susan Kim and Laurence Klavan deliver a heart-pounding finale to the postapocalyptic teen world of the Wasteland, filled with dramatic twists and turns. Bestselling author of Criminal, Karin Slaughter, called Wasteland "a Lord of the Flies for future generations. An irresistible page-turner."
No one dares to leave the District—the towering structure of glass and steel that is their protection against the unruly bands of Outsiders that roam Mundreel and the deadly rain that carries the disease that kills all over the age of nineteen.
This skyscraper stands amid the urban devastation, the city rumored to have once been called "Montreal." Esther and her allies have created a haven on the rooftop, a garden that flourishes, and a home for her new baby, hidden from all but the very few who know her secret. But as Gideon's power grows and factions form, the ultimate darkness is born from greed, and Esther must find a way to save the citizens from themselves.

Favourite Books
SUSAN
- Parasite Rex, Carl Zimmer (really creepy nonfiction book about parasites and how they make their host animals act like zombies.)
- Let the Right One In, John Ajvide Lindqvist (terrific vampire story from Sweden, which is reminiscent of something by Stephen King only everyone lives in Sweden, not Maine)
- The Dog Stars, Peter Heller (amazing dystopian book for grownups, in which a man and his dog have to fight for survival)
