<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>In 2028 a <b>deadly Flu</b> virus ravages the Earth. Only one in two thousand survive the virus, and these Survivors are rarely left unaffected. By 2038, only thirty-eight million people remain on Earth. Most of them live in small communities, ever fearful of outsiders who might bring the deadly Flu.</i> <br> Ceej Kane lives with his uncle and his Survivor sister, Harryette, in an abandoned hotel on the rim of the Grand Canyon. His quiet, boring life suddenly becomes a desperate adventure when Uncle and Harryette disappear. Searching for them, Ceej and his only friend, Tim, are attacked by the Kinka, a renegade band of half-mad Survivors who spread the Flu to make more of their own. Worse yet, it appears that Harryette has joined them. <br> Fleeing deep into the canyon, a narrow land of ghosts and ancient secrets, Ceej and Tim meet Bella, a mysterious Hopi girl. She has been searching the canyon for the Sipapuni, a mystical portal that the Hopi believe leads to another world. Tim thinks Bella is crazy, but Ceej is not so sure. Maybe there is a way out of this Flu-ravaged world. But first they must find out what happened to Uncle, and they must save Harryette from the Kinka -- if she wants to be saved.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Hautman at his best." <P> -- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>"This compulsively readable title [is] a sure winner." <P> -- "VOYA"<br><br>"Winter is nasty, spoiled, and almost unbelievably libidinous, and it's ample evidence of the author's talent that she is also deeply sympathetic." <P> -- "The New Yorker"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Pete Hautman is the author of National Book Award-winning novel <i>Godless</i>, <i>Sweetblood</i>, <i>Hole in the Sky</i>, <i>Stone Cold</i>, <i>The Flinkwater Factor</i>, <i>The Forgetting Machine</i>, and <i>Mr. Was</i>, which was nominated for an Edgar Award by the Mystery Writers of America, as well as several adult novels.
