Happy Town

Written by Greg Van Eehout

This book is intense! It has a good narrator for the audiobook on the SORA app, for those who like to listen to books. It is a thriller and would probably be too intense for some kids that are sensitive to scary stories. It’s mostly a zombie book that takes place in a society that seems perfect from the outside, but once you are in that world, all the flaws start to be seen. The characters are relatable and the writing is solid. It makes for a fun read.
