Dread Nation is a total knockout. It takes the zombie trope—which, let's be honest, has been dead for a decade—and uses it to perform surgery on American history.
It’s mean, it’s smart, and it’s incredibly readable. This isn't 'educational' in the boring way; it’s the kind of book that makes you want to stay up until 2 AM finishing it and then immediately talk to someone about how messed up the world is. If your teen is ready for some heavy lifting regarding race and some messy zombie kills, this is a must-buy.
