A deadly virus killed every adult on Earth, leaving only the kids behind. With her parents gone, Lisa is responsible for her little brother, Todd. She has to make sure they stay alive. Many kids are sick or starving, and fierce gangs are stealing and destroying everything they find. Lots of people have given up, but on Grand Avenue, some kids are surviving. Because of Lisa. Lisa figured out how to give the kids on Grand Avenue food, homes, and protection against the gangs. But Tom Logan and his army are determined to take that away and rule the streets themselves.

But does Lisa have the strength to take charge of a whole city?

Abridged

Didn’t realize this was abridged. The original book was much better. Still a good story

Propaganda

I disliked this book. It felt like political propaganda for kids. The dialogue was outdated, as were the characters.

Good Story Too Short

Great story, great Narraration and good pace in dialogue. I just wish it went into a little bit more detail. It costs $10 for an hour worth of my time. That's how much I make in an hour. Great for children and not too adult.

book is better was disappointed. over all 4*

narrator I thought was awesome... I'll have to listen to it again, I think there was some stuff missing, I'll have to see if I can find my physical copy as well.

1 credit for a 1 hour book is crazy

Too short, seems like a shorter version of the original that i read in high school

this is based on graphic novel, not the book

Silly me, I loved this book when I was a kid and wanted to listen to it with my daughter. However, this version is of the graphic novel, not the actual book. Obviously, I figured it out a too late. We listened to it anyway.

The actual book is awesome, this one...not so much. Skip this and read the actual book.

THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

I read this book back in elementary school and feel in love with it. i had an audio book copy years ago through a special service that i no long have access to so you can imagine delight when i found this here and then my utter dispair when i found that this is the comic book version not the actual book. Very very disappointing. i even emailed audible to tell them the audio was messed up before realizing it was the comic book but never heard a peep out of them. wish i could get my money back and get this out of my library.

HORRIBLE

This book is not full book,this book is booty do not get this horrible book

Why aren’t there chapters ?

This is weird, why aren’t there any chapters? Wishing we had gone with another option

Not the same

This graphic novel is horrible . It’s not like the real story which was better. I wish the original version was in a audiobook.
