What's scarier than a post-apocalyptic wasteland? 12-year-old Huey is about to find out.
It's been two weeks and Huey's father still hasn't returned from a supply run to the Square.
His dad's Number One Rule is posted on the wall of the bunker where they live: "HUEY DO NOT GO INTO THE WASTELAND ALONE" ? and Huey has no desire to break the rules because that might set off his anxiety. But he's running out of food... and what if his father is in trouble? It's time for him to take action.
Huey sets out into the wasteland on a dangerous adventure where he'll face new challenges like mutants, giant scorpions, and most intimidating of all: a feisty, pre-teen girl named Hope.
