(4) YA Eleven-year-old Whensday exists in a nightmarish post-apocalyptic land where virtually everyone she knows soon meets a violent death. Luck seems to play a larger part in her survival than does her strong inner spirit, and the unremitting brutality leaves little room for readers to notice her strength. However, the book is compelling despite the unrelenting cruelty, and Whensday's narration is gripping.
