Quick Summary

The Dark and Hollow Places drops readers into a crumbling, terrifying city where the infected roam the shadows and every step could be your last, but it is the fierce sisterly love and determination that truly drives this heart-pounding story. Teens will devour the intense survival scenes, the unexpected alliances, and the way Annah transforms from lost and alone into a warrior who will do anything to protect her family. If your teen loved The Maze Runner's desperate escape vibes or The Hunger Games' fight-against-impossible-odds energy, this dark and gritty tale delivers that same addictive intensity. With an AR Level of 5.7 and 16.0 points, this is perfect for high school students in grades 9-12 who want a gripping, mature read.
