A survival plan centered on family

Dessa’s life is organized around practical goals: keeping out of trouble at her group home, saving money, and reuniting with her younger brother. A zombie outbreak overturns those plans, leaving her to navigate a collapsing city alongside other teens from the home. The danger is paired with a personal objective—finding and saving her brother—while the limited supplies and uncertain alliances keep survival closely tied to trust and responsibility. As the first book in the After the World Ends series, it introduces new characters within the universe of Zombies Are Human.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young adult readers interested in zombie-apocalypse fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy survival stories shaped by family ties and uncertain alliances.
  • Readers looking for the opening installment of a series.

Book overview

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jamie Thornton.

DESSA HAS PLANS.

She plans to stay out of trouble in the group home where she lives. She plans to work crazy hours at the grocery story to save for her own place. She plans to get her little brother back, soon, from his foster parents.

But when a zombie apocalypse arrives, it wrecks all of Dessa's plans. With the city falling into chaos, Dessa must use her street smarts to survive. Her only weapon against the zombies is a pillowcase of tuna cans. Her only allies are the other group home teens she doesn't dare trust.

And there's only one plan left in the entire universe that matters.

Find and save her brother before it's too late.

 

AFTER THE WORLD ENDS launches a new series in the same bestselling universe as ZOMBIES ARE HUMAN. New characters. New adventures. A thrilling zombie apocalypse awaits.
