Branch Manager Reviews: A Matter of Days by Amber Kizer

A Matter of Days by Amber Kizer 

In this young adult book, a disease called Blustar has killed almost everyone in the country. Sixteen-year-old Nadia and her brother, Rabbit, survived, thanks to their uncle's help. Now they must travel across the country, alone, to find safety. Along the way, they find a dog in need, an interesting young city man attempting to farm and many people who don't have their best interests at heart.

This story has a lot of heart and it reads like a thriller. You never know if things are going to be OK for our heroes from one page to the next. They must face thieves, gangs, and the harsh environment itself to survive. Nadia and Rabbit are believable and likable characters and watching them overcome the obstacles in their way is a compelling read.

Recommended for middle grade and up.
