Aliens have invaded, and destroyed Earth as Clover Martinez knows it. She's always been a survivor, but when she hears a radio message, she's shocked to learn there are other survivors--and that they're all at the former Area 51. When she arrives, she's greeted by a band of misfits who call themselves The Last Teenagers on Earth. The ragtag group seems more interested in hiding than fighting back, and Clover starts to wonder if she was better off alone. But then she finds a hidden spaceship, and she doesn't know what to believe... or who to trust.
This title is from our Survival Stories booklist.
