  Not in the sense of Freddy Krueger or the boogey-man, but in "could this really happen?" And in the wake of Hurricane Katrina & our economic melt-down, it doesn't seem so far-fetched.

However, the whole package works extremely well for the middle school audience.

  Fantastic book! It is a young adult novel but like many YA books I think adults would love it. It is a post-apocalyptic story, very well thought out and frighteningly believable.
