512 pages

The kids of Perdido Beach have survived a lot, have toughened and learned to work together, but they aren’t prepared when a super flu strikes. Children are dying, and the one teen, Lana, who has developed the power of healing cannot cure those afflicted by it. Meanwhile, the Darkness is wreaking terror in the minds of certain kids, and creates a plague of his own. Little Pete becomes bound even closer to the Darkness while trying to fight the flu, and the novel concludes with some astonishing twists. I’m anxiously awaiting the fifth novel’s arrival in April!
