YA
Raised by research-zoologist parents in Africa's Kalahari Desert, Sarah is more comfortable with monkeys than peers. Tragedy strikes, and Sarah struggles to navigate a group of visiting American teens to safety. Hiding in the Corpus lab, they discover a virus that could end life on Earth. The book suffers from stereotypical characters and stilted pacing, but the setting is interesting and vivid.
