Class Description

Willkommen zu Online Book Club: Die Verlorenen von New York (The Dead and the Gone) by Susan Beth Pfeffer.

„Die Verlorenen von New York“ is a young adult drama and dystopian disaster novel. After a massive natural disaster floods New York and destroys large parts of the city, a group of teenagers struggles to survive as food, water, and safety become increasingly scarce.
