The Girl With All the Gifts
By M. R. CareyPublisher Description
In the ruins of civilization, a young girl's kindness and capacity for love will either save humanity -- or wipe it out in this USA Today bestselling thriller Joss Whedon calls "heartfelt, remorseless, and painfully human."
Melanie is a very special girl. Dr Caldwell calls her "our little genius."
Every morning, Melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class. When they come for her, Sergeant keeps his gun pointed at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair. She thinks they don't like her. She jokes that she won't bite, but they don't laugh.

“I absolutely breezes through this book, I haven’t enjoyed one like it in a long time. I found it to be an incredibly interesting and thought provoking book. Melanie the main character is incredibly fleshed out, I felt for her throughout the book. I managed to finish this in a day!”Likable charactersEasy to readFast-pacedVividDarkHopeful

“Science Fiction sure can leave you pondering what you've read. I was surprised by the ending, but yet not surprised by how scientific it was. Melanie was almost too smart for her age. I assume it was because of what she was taught, and not because of anything else. I was comforted by her emotional responses. They did seem to match her age. Of course the whole thing felt traumatizing to a child of that age and hope nothing like that ever happens for real.”Reviewed in:Eclectic Fiction Readers
