Wow. What a fun book. I am such a fan of Madeleine Roux and this awesome zombie series. This is the sequel to ALISON HEWITT IS TRAPPED, and while it's in the same world, you can read them out of order!
- The main character, Sadie, is an illustrator in a crumbling world that stays safe from the zombie outside of their walls. She works as an illustrator to scrape by, and lives with her boyfriend and nephew. Sadie is a great character. She's artistic, which every writer/reader should enjoy, and she's tough, even when things get really hard and the entire world seems to all apart around her.
- I wont' say what happens. It's super spoilery! But Sadie has to learn to rely on her own strengths when betrayal pushes her down, and she becomes a kick-A heroine who does some serious zombie crushing when the barricades fall apart and her world is full of the undead again.
- Sadie escapes the city with her friend and nephew, and together, they find themselves shipwrecked with other survivors...it would seem safe, being in the middle of an island where zombies can't reach. But things just go from bad to worse, when the zombies are getting smarter and learning to adapt.
- This book is super fast-paced and fun. If you love a tough heroine who is only weakened when it comes to how much she cares about others (which only makes her stronger, in my opinion!), then you'll love SADIE WALKER IS STRANDED.
