Paperback. Zustand: New. Book 1 in the terrifying post-apocalyptic thriller about siblings on the run in a world overrun by mysterious beasts.a taut, compact read that's "highly appealing for a great many horror readers, new and old" (Kirkus Reviews). NOW IN PAPERBACK!The world has been overrun by hitherto unknown beasts. Society has collapsed: the power is gone, cars are abandoned across the highways, and anyone left is hiding from the terrifying creatures-and one another. Thirteen-year-old Abdi and his five-year-old sister Alva are on the run, their last hope to escape through the forest and to the sea. As they recall the strange events that led to the beasts' arrival, and how the two of them got to where they were, they must ask themselves who they can trust-and what they will do to survive.Set in a postapocalyptic world, Ingvild Bjerkeland's chilling novel Beasts is about children who hope to reunite with their father. After a beast killed their mother, Abdi becomes the guardian of his five-year-old sister, Alva. With Alva feverish, Abdi is anxious to find supplies and travel to the remote island where their ornithologist father is stationed. The creatures the siblings encounter are six feet tall, covered in black fur, with hoofs and curling claws that unfurl for attacks. The narrative maintains an engaging and brutal pace as Abdi struggles to keep his sister and himself alive.This gripping YA novel explores deeper themes, such as the line that separates not only child from adult but man from beast. The siblings anchor the book, and their emotional journey is as riveting as the physical one. Through his responsibility for Alva, Abdi overcomes his fears and finds strength within himself. Bjerkeland walks a careful line between being mindful of her audience's age while refusing to shrink from the truth.Beasts will appeal to readers of survival classics such as Hatchet and Julie of the Wolves with its realistic illustrations of Abdi's dogged problem-solving. It will also please those who enjoy stories with supernatural antagonists in pursuit of their prey, like The Walking Dead or The Last of Us. Rippling with constant tension, Beasts is an eerie, quick read for teen readers who can handle a bit of horror and unease.P R A I S E"Bjerkeland's writing is beautiful. A quick, enjoyable read."-New York Times? "Chilling. short chapters and taut prose set a frantic pace. Beasts combines the timelessness of a fairy tale with the stark immediacy of contemporary dystopian fiction."-Foreword (starred? "Bjerkeland's propulsive tale is sleek and elegant, a subtle blend of fable and realism that increasingly reflects many of today's desperate refugees' experiences. Every sentence is direct and brief, vivid with eventfulness, uncertainty, and Abdi's deep sense of responsibility for his sister. The story's brevity and abrupt forcefulness, and the characters' stalwart courage and love, make this tale unusually compelling."-The Horn Book (starred)"Crisp and spare, the lines lean as pick.…
