S.T., a domesticated crow, is a bird of simple pleasures: hanging out with his owner Big Jim, trading insults with Seattle's wild crows (i.e. "those idiots"), and enjoying the finest food humankind has to offer: Cheetos®.

But when Big Jim's eyeball falls out of his head, S.T. starts to think something's not quite right. His tried-and-true remedies—from beak-delivered beer to the slobbering affection of Big Jim's loyal but dim-witted dog, Dennis—fail to cure Big Jim's debilitating malady. S.T. is left with no choice but to abandon his old life and venture out into a wild and frightening new world with his trusty steed Dennis, where he suddenly discovers that the neighbors are devouring one other. Local wildlife is abuzz with rumors of Seattle's dangerous new predators.

Humanity's extinction has seemingly arrived, and the only one determined to save it is a cowardly crow whose only knowledge of the world comes from TV.

What could possibly go wrong?

I really enjoyed this. The premise is that only animals have survived the zombie apocalypse, and what happens to the pets locked in houses, the zoo animals in the wrong areas, the wild animals, the animals used in science or product testing? This is told from their perspective and is pretty witty.

It would work for square 5A as it was her Debut work.

I checked it out from my local library via Libby and I’m enjoying it. Cats seem to be getting overlooked, but the birds are great.

Unusual origin for the apocalypse, and it’s definitely one of the more interesting origins I’ve seen for zombie viruses.
