Society has collapsed: the power is gone, cars are abandoned across the highways, and anyone left is hiding from the terrifying creatures―and one another. Thirteen-year-old Abdi and his five-year-old sister Alva are on the run, their last hope to escape through the forest and to the sea. As they recall the strange events that led to the beasts' arrival, and how the two of them got to where they were, they must ask themselves who they can trust―and what they will do to survive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet in a postapocalyptic world, Ingvild Bjerkeland’s chilling novel Beasts is about children who hope to reunite with their father. After a beast killed their mother, Abdi becomes the guardian of his five-year-old sister, Alva. With Alva feverish, Abdi is anxious to find supplies and travel to the remote island where their ornithologist father is stationed. The creatures the siblings encounter are six feet tall, covered in black fur, with hoofs and curling claws that unfurl for attacks. The narrative maintains an engaging and brutal pace as Abdi struggles to keep his sister and himself alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis gripping YA novel explores deeper themes, such as the line that separates not only child from adult but man from beast.
