Sunny At The End Of The World
Dear Village Sunny At The End Of The World $22.99
'Fierce and funny by turns, with Steph Bowe's flair for seeing straight to the heart of what makes us tick. What a gift, to have one more tale from this master storyteller.' Amie Kaufman, NYT bestselling author of The Isles of the Gods  A witty and moving YA tale of friendship, survival and acts of courage, told with humour and heart. When a zombie apocalypse destroys the world, Sunny must save what matters most-and discover that the zombies might not be the true enemy. You're not going to like this part. I don't like this part. I don't know how I'm going to explain it to you, and have it make any sense.  In 2018, seventeen-year-old Sunny and Toby are on the run after zombies have destroyed most of the adults in their world. Cut to 2034 when Sunny is being held in an underground facility. What happened? Was it aliens, a genocide, a video game, biological terrorism, a totalitarian takeover? And who can infiltrate the facility and release the surviving prisoners? The tables will be turned more than once in this thrilling and thought-provoking novel. With Steph Bowe's sad passing at the age of twenty-five, in 2020, we lost a truly wonderful author of three smart, funny YA novels. Her mother and sister discovered a manuscript on her computer- the book you have in your hands. Steph was always wise beyond her years, with the power to access other worlds. Somehow, in Sunny at the End of the World, she predicted an 'outbreak' much like the one that changed our world, after she was gone...  With her trademark humour, endearing characters and brilliant storytelling, Steph Bowe has left us a novel that helps to make sense of the rapidly changing world we live in. PRAISE-  'A twisty road trip through a post-zombie apocalypse, Sunny At the End of the World is testament to Steph Bowe's brio, wit and brilliance.' Rebecca Lim, author of Tiger Daughter 'Brutal, tender and fierce, Sunny is ultimately a celebration of love and resilience, from a much-missed voice in Australian YA.' Lili Wilkinson, author of A Hunger of Thorns Â With classic Steph Bowe humour and undertow, this is a post zombie apocalypse to relish. I loved it.' Fiona Wood, author of How to Spell Catastrophe 'Fast-paced action, with lots of humour thrown in.' Books+Publishing PRAISE FOR STEPH BOWE-  'A gentle, heartfelt tale...Bowe works quietly and perceptively through a range of believable situations.' Magpies on Night Swimming 'A tender, quirky love story full of charm and authenticity...' Sydney Morning Herald on Night Swimming
