Product Description:
Is anyone out there?
Ann Burden is sixteen years old and completely alone. The world as she once knew it is gone, ravaged by a nuclear war that has taken everyone from her. For the past year, she has lived in a remote valley with no evidence of any other survivors.
But the smoke from a distant campfire shatters Ann's solitude. Someone else is still alive and making his way toward the valley. Who is this man? What does he want? Can he be trusted? Both excited and terrified, Ann soon realizes there may be worse things than being the last person on Earth.

I hope he reads it because of the cool cover.

When I very first read this, I was totally and deliciously creeped out. I already knew O'Brien had a talent for nabbing a bit of sci-fi and throwing it into an opposing world. It all winds up being utterly horrifying and I guess I can't help but like it.Instead, this time, of working with cute little forest animals NIHM-style, O'Brien takes on the apocalypse, a sleepy valley that has pretty much survived the end of humanity and is now ready to for a little Twilight Zone-ish last-man-on-earth excitement.This book is nothing if not creepy, with very real emotions and intelligent references to religion, science, and literature--all still at a teen level. The human thought process is fascinating to watch and I was unable to guess as where the story would lead. Definitely worth a read.

My mother was a librarian when I was growing up, and she recommedned this book for me, knowing about my taste for strong science fiction stories. This book changed the way i looked at books and stories. No doubt, it was one of the darkest, most horrifying tales I had yet read, but it hit me like a brick wall. Well-written and more carefully paced than other YA fiction, this book is a wonderful slow-burn that takes the reader into the character's thoghts, hopes, and fears. A powerful and engaging read for the forward thinking YA reader.

I had to read this in 8th grade as part of a segment regarding nuclear weapons and someday I'd like to read it again. This book was amazing and has always made me appreciate the tenuousness of our civilization. I'm a bit surprised that it was required reading, though, sense it's material that might give one nightmares and paranoia. I would want my kids to read it and think about it, but other adults might not feel the same way.
