Survivor Max II

About this book

Eleven-year-old Max has escaped the high walls of Lockshire Estates joined by a new companion, a girl named Ellie. Now they must venture through the plague-infested world outside. Armed with only his Porcupine Freedom Scouts training, a pack of survival gear, and his determination, Max is desperate to find the medicine he needs to save his new friend. Instead he finds a wasteland of empty houses crawling with flesh-eating "creepers" that stalk the living to satisfy their appetite for fresh meat. After a chance encounter at his former school, Max is taken into custody against his will. Has he finally found the safe haven he's been looking for? Have they found the community and security they need to rebuild long-term? Or will he discover that school bites?
