PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "This impressive novel is part coming-of-age action-adventure and part fierce war games dominated by a young girl just coming into her powers. A fine, durable, inaugural volume brimming with imagination and sparkling, inventive characters." ********* The world ended long before Caroline Mathers was born, but that doesn't mean life stops for the fourteen-year-old scout for the People's Republic of Virginia. Abandoned by her parents, raised by her grandfather, she guards the forests surrounding their crumbling encampment, keeping a watchful eye on their devious and shadowy enemies from the north. Drastic, terrifying change comes the day Caroline hears the sound that everyone dreads: distant drums echoing throughout their quiet valley, pounding to the beat of the war rhythm. With much-needed help from unlikely allies, Caroline leads her people in a breathtaking retreat, praying they'll find salvation in their capitol city. Along the way, haunting dreams may reveal a look into her mystifying past. The first book of the Warchild series is a powerful, gritty, dystopian thriller full of fast-paced action, hard choices, and the undeniable strength of the human bond.
