I just finished reading this book. I consumed it in a matter of hours over a period of a couple of days. It was every bit as good as my friend Chad said it would be. This is the journal of 15 year old Ann Burden, sole survivor in her valley after a war where nuclear bombs and nerve gases left nearly everything a wasteland. Z for Zachariah was written by Robert C. O'Brien. He also authored Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. This would be a great read aloud for 6th-8th graders. It's a real page-turner.
