YA
California high-schooler Daisy Cruz searches for her mysteriously missing best friend Henry Hawking. The clues lead her to California's Los Padres National Forest, to a bunker of apocalyptic survivalists waiting out the threat of an epidemic. The plot is bizarre, but Daisy's determined, wise-cracking (if flat) narrative voice and Henry's torn-between-worlds character drive the story.
