� Boy meets boy. Meets ... zombie. When teenagers Max and Kiran find a baby crying alone during a zombie attack, they make a split-second decision: rescue her. Max has been surviving the wasteland solo since the ferinavirus outbreak turned humans into ravenous monsters called ferals. Kiran has been safely hidden in a farming community - until ferals breach the walls. Now both are running. Together, they trek across hostile territory toward a rumoured settlement, the baby strapped to their backs. But they're opposites in every way. As constant friction sparks into friendship, then something deeper, they're forced to navigate first love while keeping a helpless infant alive. And themselves. In a world designed to kill them all. Get ready for a heart-racing adventure in this post-apocalyptic graphic novel Perfect for fans of Heartstopper by Alice Oseman and The Walking Dead An outstanding debut by author and illustrator Anna Penn
