Volcanoes erupted two years ago, but ash is still falling from the sky across the United States. Sunlight and food are scarce, and cities have become wastelands with looting and murder. Miles Newell knows that his family must leave their home in Minneapolis before they, too, become victims of the violence. But as the Newells travel deep into rural Minnesota in search of safety, they begin to realize that the danger didn’t stop at the city limits. First published in 2001, Memory Boy takes on new meaning in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, as the aftermath of Weaver’s volcanic eruption feels hauntingly familiar and altogether frightening. EXTRAS included in the paperback edition. PRAISE FOR MEMORY BOY: “Hand this book to both Gary Paulsen and science-fiction fans and stand back. Riveting and all too believable.” —VOYA “Vivid characterizations, nonstop action, and an entirely plausible plot combine for a thrilling story.” —ALA Booklist
