HOLLOW KINGDOM : ITS TIME TO MEET THE WORLDS MOST UNLIKELY HERO… – KIRA JANE BUXTON

A humorous, big-hearted romp through the apocalypse, where even a cowardly crow can become a hero. Perfect for fans of Dawn of the Dead and Isaac Marion s Warm Bodies. A thoroughly enjoyable account of the end of the world as we know it. The Secret Life of Pets meets The Walking Dead. Karen Joy Fowler It s transformative, poignant, and funny as hell. S.T. the irrepressible, cursing crow is my new favourite apocalyptic hero. Helen Macdonald, New York Times bestselling author of H Is for Hawk S.T. is a domesticated crow. He is a bird of simple pleasures: hanging out with his owner Big Jim, trading insults with Seattle s wild crows (those idiots) and enjoying the finest food humankind has to offer: Cheetos. But when Big Jim s eyeball falls out of his head, S.T. starts to feel like something isn t right. His most tried-and-true remedies – from beak-delivered beer to the slobbering affection of the loyal, but dim-witted, dog Dennis – fail to cure his owner. S.T. is left with no choice but to venture out into a frightening new world, where he discovers that the neighbours are devouring each other, and the local wildlife is abuzz with rumours of dangerous new predators roaming Seattle… Humanity s extinction has arrived, and the only one determined to save it is a foul-mouthed crow.
