The Lives We Lost

by Megan Crewe Narrated by Sisi Aisha Johnson

Overview

First, the virus took Kaelyn's friends, then her family, and now it's spread beyond her island. No one is safe. But when Kaelyn finds samples of a vaccine hidden in her father's abandoned laboratory, she knows there's only one option: seek out someone who can replicate it. As Kaelyn and her friends head to the mainland they face greater challenges than they ever could have imagined. Not everyone they meet wants Kaelyn to succeed-and many simply want her dead and the vaccine for themselves. With the chance of finding help slipping away, will Kaelyn be forced to sacrifice those she loves in order to rescue the human race? Megan Crewe's second installment in this powerful and gripping YA series tackles self-preservation, first love, and hope. This heart-wrenching story of one girl's bravery and unbeatable spirit will leave readers fervently awaiting the final book in this suspenseful and action-packed trilogy.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Kaelyn stays strong and committed to her quest... The scarily realistic settings and a tautly paced, well-researched plot will keep readers anxiously awaiting the next volume." -Horn Book

"The characters are distinct, and many of them experience nuanced soul-wrestling as the story unfolds... A readable tale about courage and heroism in the face of a world that is falling apart." -School Library Journal

"The novel's title can refer both to the mass deaths and, more poignantly, to the pre-flu world Kaelyn mourns... Kaelyn's grim determination and character growth offer readers a reprieve from bleakness, leaving them ready for the next installment." -Kirkus Reviews
