(2) YA This harrowing thriller tells of a biological attack on a New Jersey suburb, focusing on the four young adults, complicated and distinct, who are primarily affected. Plum-Ucci deftly layers global intrigue atop more intimate mysteries, using perspective shifts to manipulate tension and propel the plot. Rich with unanswerable questions and timely urgency, the book captures the frailty of post-9/11 American life.
