written by O. T. Nelson and adapted by Dan Jollye, Joelle Jones and Jenn Manley Lee

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.

“This graphic novel adaptation of Nelson’s 1975 story maintains the original tension and finds room for political discourse.” —The Horn Book Guide
