This story creates a future where a disease has developed that brings the dead back to life and makes them crave human flesh. One bite from these "Unconsecrated" beings infects a live human and turns him/her into a similar zombie. Mary, a young girl, lives in a fenced village that is constantly under seige from the "Unconsecrated" living in the forest beyond. When the village's fences are breeched and the village is overrun, she escapes down a fenced path into the forest with a small group of others, including her brother and her fiance. What will they find? Reminiscent of Omega Man, the story is scary and intriguing. Sure to appeal to the horror fans out there in upper Middle School or High School. The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan. Delacorte Press, 2009.
