Hollow Kingdom

By Kira Jane Buxton

Book Overview

In this hilarious, "dazzling" romp, a foul-mouthed crow is humanity's only chance to survive a zombie apocalypse-think Watership Down meets Dawn of the Dead (Mona Awad, author of Bunny).

S.T. is a bird of simple pleasures: hanging out with his human owner, Big Jim, trading insults with Seattle's wild crows (i.e. ""those idiots""), and enjoying the finest food humankind has to offer: Cheetos (R). But when Big Jim's eyeball falls out of his head, S.T. starts to think something's not quite right.

With no choice but to abandon his old life and venture out into a frightening new world with his trusty steed Dennis (a loyal but dimwitted dog), S.T. discovers that the neighbors are devouring one other. 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?

So Unique and Mesmerizing

I have never read anything like this book, and can NOT wait to read Kira Jane Buxton's next book! I was immediately surprised and hooked. I could not put this book down. I got some crazy looks as I read it poolside, laughing and crying outloud! As a PNW native, the setting was so familiar that it drew me in even faster. I wish I could read this for the first time, again! It will forever be on my "you HAVE to read this" list!
