The Lives We Lost (Fallen World #2)

A deadly virus has destroyed Kaelyn’s small island community and spread beyond the quarantine. No one is safe. But when Kaelyn finds samples of a vaccine in her father's abandoned lab, she knows there must be someone, somewhere, who can replicate it. As Kaelyn and her friends head to the mainland, they encounter a world beyond recognition. It’s not only the “friendly flu” that’s a killer—there are people who will stop at nothing to get their hands on the vaccine.  How much will Kaelyn risk for an unproven cure, when the search could either destroy those she loves or save the human race?

Megan Crewe's second volume in the Fallen World trilogy is an action-packed journey that explores the resilience of friendship, the ache of lost love, and Kaelyn’s enduring hope in the face of the sacrifices she must make to stay alive.

Reviews

"Kaelyn stays strong and committed to her quest... The scarily realistic settings and a tautly paced, well-researched plot will keep readers anxiously awaiting the next volume." -Horn Book

"The novel’s title can refer both to the mass deaths and, more poignantly, to the pre-flu world Kaelyn mourns... Kaelyn’s grim determination and character growth offer readers a reprieve from bleakness, leaving them ready for the next installment." -Kirkus Reviews

"The Lives We Lost will have you on the edge of your seat... This compelling novel is detailed enough to read without having read the first book of the trilogy, and it leaves out just enough to have you ready for last book in the series." -teen reviewer for School Library Journal
