The Girl with All the Gifts
“Narrator Finty Williams wisely sidesteps the sensationalistic tone that would be easy to bring to this novel…[and] makes it clear that Melanie is a child, full of wonder and curiosity…This zombie story is about self-discovery and finding humanity in unexpected places. And Williams’ performance is pitch-perfect. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

Melanie is a very special girl. Dr. Caldwell calls her "our little genius."
Every morning, Melanie waits in her cell to be taken to class. When they come for her, Sergeant keeps his gun pointing at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair. She thinks they don't like her. She jokes that she won't bite, but they don't laugh.
Melanie loves school. She loves learning about spelling and sums and the world outside the classroom and the children's cells. She tells her favorite teacher all the things she'll do when she grows up. Melanie doesn't know why this makes Miss Justineau look sad.
The Girl with All the Gifts is a sensational thriller, perfect for fans of Stephen King, Justin Cronin, and Neil Gaiman.
