Title: A Matter of Days

Author: Amber Kizer

Publication Date: June 11, 2013

Synopsis: 

 On Day 56 of the pandemic called BluStar, sixteen-year-old Nadia's mother dies, leaving her responsible for her younger brother Rabbit. They secretly received antivirus vaccines from their uncle, but most people weren't as lucky. Their deceased father taught them to adapt and survive whatever comes their way. That's their plan as they trek from Seattle to their grandfather's survivalist compound in West Virginia. 

Using practical survival techniques, they make their way through a world of death and destruction until they encounter an injured dog; Zack, a street kid from Los Angeles; and other survivors who are seldom what they seem. Illness, infections, fatigue, and meager supplies have become a way of life. Still, it will be worth it once they arrive at the designated place on the map they have memorized. But what if no one is there to meet them?

You all know how much I love dystopian/post-apocalyptics right? I came across this one a few days ago and immediately added it to my reading list. I especially like these stories when the children are left on there own to fend for themselves. I don't know what that says about me as a person, but I just love them :)

What about you? What are you anxious to read? Leave me a link in the comments and I'll come check it out!
