About this listen

Something terrible has finally happened. A nuclear holocaust has destroyed civilization. For one whole year, 16-year-old Ann Burden has lived alone on her family’s farm, somehow sheltered from the radiation in the valley. As she hears the final radio station going off the air, she believes she is the only person left alive. But when Ann sees smoke from a faraway campfire, she knows there is at least one other survivor. Soon an incredible figure wearing a green suit and carrying an oxygen tank appears on the road. With the intruder in her valley, she makes a chilling discovery: There are worse things than being alone.

Newbery Award-winning author Robert C. O’Brien won an Edgar Award for this suspense-filled science fiction tale of a young woman determined to survive on her own terms. Narrator Christina Moore places you on the scene with Ann in a strange world with an unknown future.

Sullied post-apocalyptic idealism

I encourage you to listen to her story. This book was published in 1970s. It’s obvious why it was adapted into a film in late 2010s. Read the book first because the movie is more of a 2nd chapter a few years later. Both heart and hand wrenching hope and ruin. It’s such a good read. I’m glad the author’s daughter finished writing it.

Wonderful!

I must have read this book a half dozen times when I was in grade school. I absolutely love it and Christina Moore did an amazing job with narration. Highly recommend!!!
