Humans aren't at the top of the food chain anymore

Three years after an alien invasion, fourteen-year-old Lola and her best friend Patrick are just trying to survive in a broken-down world, where taken humans are never seen again. When the two friends are captured themselves, they discover the horrifying truth: the alien Arlatans see humans exactly as humans see livestock. M.J. Howes delivers a fast-paced, genuinely unsettling YA thriller that doesn't shy away from real tension and gore, while quietly turning the tables on how we think about other species. A gripping read for older kids and teens who like their sci-fi with real bite.
