Stranded (Shaver)

Join a courageous group of teens as they make their way in a post-apocalyptic adventure story of survival after an EMP has virtually shut down modern technology across North America. Setting out on foot with nothing more than some soon-to-be worthless cash and a little advice from a trusted teacher, Alex, Quinn, Josh, Cooper, and Dara walk through a burning city that has come to a halt. The devastation they see as they make their way out of the city is a small part of the horror that the nation will become. As the days go by with no food deliveries and no water flowing from taps, civilization will start to crumble and it will be survival of the fittest. With 1500 miles to cross they will need to plan well, count on each other, and pray for a little luck. Even with that, chances are slim of getting home when you are stranded.

Join a courageous group of teens as they make their way in a post-apocalyptic adventure story of survival after an EMP has virtually shut down modern technology across North America. Emily, David, Mason, Lisa, and Mark head to the California coast to find a boat back to Canada. They all felt that it would be much easier and quicker to sail home rather than go over land with the others. They were wrong. The trek through the lawless city to get to the coast is only the first step. Hardship and loss await as the teens struggle to overcome both the challenge of the journey and threats from within. The trip home will change them all-for good or bad, as the stranded teens make for home by sea.

The courageous groups of teens made their way home in a post-apocalyptic adventure story of survival after an EMP had virtually shut down modern technology across North America. What they find there after their long, dangerous journeys leaves them stunned. Their reunion begins in a hail of gunfire and only gets worse from there. The teens are shocked to learn that their town is under siege and their families, friends, and neighbors are being held hostage and some used as slaves. After witnessing the pain and suffering of their people, the group has to decide just how far they are willing to go to free their loved ones.

Five went by land and five went by sea . . . The rest stayed in the city. This is their story. Mrs. Moore knew that leaving the city was the best chance that she and her students had to survive the EMP pulse, but when half of her charges refuse to leave she knows she has to stay and try and protect them. Fighting against time and the people in her group that refuse to face the reality of their situation will be a huge challenge. Even after finding a safe haven to wait out the destruction and chaos they are threatened and have to flee for their lives. With her group's numbers lessening at every turn she must lead them on the 1500-mile journey back to Canada. Their path will show them the best and worst of the new world. Facing the dangers of other survivors, rampant wild life, and shrinking supplies, they must travel through a world tossed back in time. Will her survivalist knowledge and determination be enough to get her students home?
