BoTW: The Roar

In Emma Clayton's The Roar, a terrible plague has infected most of the world's animal population, turning them into rabid creatures that crave human flesh. To protect themselves from the The Animal Plague, humanity has fled north behind a wall. Living in cramped, squalid conditions, Mika is a twelve-year old boy whose twin sister recently drowned.

But Mika doesn't believe that she is dead and does everything he can to uncover the truth about what really happened to her. Full of pod ships, video games, zombie animals, and frantic action, The Roar is an bleak but entertaining glimpse into a fictional post-apocolyptic world. If you like a good sci-fi story, give The Roar a try!

The Roar is a Lone Star 2010 award winner.
