Good news! Tu (now Tu Books) has been acquired as an imprint of Lee and Low! (Yes, I&#8217;m a little late to the party on this one; sorry.) They&#8217;ll publish 3 books per season, [...]]]></description>

Apocalypse how? Aliens. The Clordians didn&#8217;t want to compete with humans for habitable planets to colonize, so they wiped us out. The Clordian Sweep &#8220;rapid[ly] disintegrat[ed]&#8230; all carbon compounds, which destroyed all life.&#8221; (Not to mention all paper records of knowledge, all wooden structures&#8230; the thoroughness of this destruction is impressive.)

Sorry it&#8217;s been awhile. Fortunately the 7th grade trip to New York was not apocalyptic in the slightest. Anyway, speaking of New York, it&#8217;s the setting of today&#8217;s old-school apocalypse! In the future, everyone lives in vast suburban Tracts in little boxes made of ticky-tacky. All Cities have been evacuated and sealed, deemed too filthy [...]]]></description>

Oh, read it read it read it!  If you liked The Hunger Games, you must absolutely read this book.  And that means that you should skip everything past the &#8220;spoilers&#8221; cut, because you really don&#8217;t want to be spoiled.
