She knows something is 'off' about Evan's story but can't figure out what it is. Cassie trusts no one, not even her savior.
She wakes up in a farmhouse and is nursed back to health by a boy named Evan. She knows she has to move on as winter is rapidly approaching. She stays in the woods for weeks, learning to exist on bottled water and canned sardines. When her little brother Sams is taken away with all the other children, Cassie's father tells her take the guns and warns her with a silent signal-Run! Every human is slaughtered back at Cassie's camp, and she's lucky to have escaped. The Others look like humans, they talk like humans, they learn the rules that make them appear human, and for that reason, Cassie trusts no one. The only rule is 'Trust no one.' And it's worked for her so far. Aliens have taken over the Earth, but have they, really? Trust me, The 5th Wave is the best dystopian novel in years!Ĭassie (short for Cassiopeia) has survived the 1st, 2nd and 3rd waves, but living terrified of dying 24/7 is nearly killing her.
Gripping, dynamic, and hard core, The 5th Wave will scare the daylights out of readers! Yancey creates a dystopia that is unspeakably terrible.
