Welcome to Litsy!

Seventeen-year-old Pru Palmer lives with her twin sisters Grace and Blythe and their father Rick, on the outskirts of an isolated mining community. Rick is a doomsday prepper. He has a bunker filled with non-perishable food and a year's worth of water. Each of the girls has a 'bug out bag', packed with water purification tablets, protein bars, paracord bracelets and epipens for Pru's anaphylaxis. One day while their father is at the mine, the power goes out. At their house, and in the town. No one knows why. All communication is cut. It doesn't take long for everything to unravel. In town, supplies run out and people get desperate. The sisters decide to keep their bunker a secret. The world is different; the rules are different. Survival is everything. But what will happen if their bunker is discovered? A brilliant and terrifyingly compelling YA novel with life and death stakes that will keep readers on the edge of their seat. 'A gripping portrait of catastrophe at the edge of the world, love in extremis, and the lengths that survival can drive us to. Wilkinson's best novel yet.' - Justine Larbalestier
