THE DEAD-TOSSED WAVES

Gabry lives in a world changed by the Return, in a time when zombies that spread their infection through a single bite swarm outside the protected areas. In this fast-paced companion to THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH, Tara Sands takes over the narration in Gabry’s voice. Sands’s strength is her ability to capture everything it means to be a teenager—from the hurried pace of Gabry’s indecision and fear to the hesitation of her self-doubt and the excited tones of her romantic feelings—for two very different boys. The supporting characters help dramatize Gabry’s story of discovery, and each has a unique voice—from the childlike vulnerability of her best friend to the cool confidence of Elias, who is part of her newly discovered past.
