Twinkle, Twinkle

Children Post Apocalyptic Young Adult Sci Fi

Summary

Growing up in a government-controlled settlement, in the aftermath of nuclear war, fifteen-year-old Mary Beth Johnson, has learned to survive the post-apocalyptic terrain by learning three important rules: blend in when necessary, put family first, and be bold and brave when all else fails. When the general of the settlement comes to the house one day bearing bad news, Mary Beth decides to face the wilderness of the barren Colorado terrain rather than let her family starve to death. Mutated by the radiation has always marked her as different from the others in her settlement, so leaving the settlement isn’t a hard decision to make; however, what she faces at the gates isn’t what she thought she would be facing. Travelling through the state won’t be easy, as she soon learns, and it gets harder when an unexpected person lands in her path. The lullaby sang to her as a child pushes her to climb higher and higher into the mountains, something telling her that it isn’t as bad as it seems. Reaching the top, Mary Beth finds out that the lullaby she’s been keeping alive isn’t as dead as she once thought it was.
