She's never been good at getting on with other humans, apart from her beloved granddaughter, Kimberly. Instead, she surrounds herself with animals, working as a guide in an outback wildlife park. And although Jean talks to all her charges, she has a particular soft spot for a young dingo called Sue. As disturbing news arrives of a pandemic sweeping the country, Jean realises this is no ordinary flu: its chief symptom is that its victims begin to understand the language of animals--first mammals, then birds and insects, too. As the flu progresses, the unstoppable voices become overwhelming, and many people begin to lose their minds, including Jean's infected son, Lee. When he takes off with Kimberly, heading south, Jean feels the pull to follow her kin. Setting off on their trail, with Sue the dingo riding shotgun, they find themselves in a stark, strange world in which the animal apocalypse has only further isolated people from other species" -- $c Amazon.com 650 0 $a Grandparent and child $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Eccentrics and eccentricities $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Wild dogs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Alcoholics $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Parks $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Epidemics $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Animals $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Road fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Science fiction. 655 7 $a Apocalyptic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104021220.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20220223012503.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211222010106.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210105034700.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A89FDBA04F2711EB9A63D65926ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
