In the ruins of a future America, fifteen-year-old Ice Cream Star and her nomadic tribe live off the detritus of a crumbled civilization. Theirs is a world of children; before reaching the age of twenty, they all die of a strange disease they call Posies?a plague that has killed for generations. There is no medicine, no treatment; only the mysterious rumor of a cure. When her brother begins showing signs of the disease, Ice Cream Star sets off on a bold journey to find this cure. Led by a stranger, a captured prisoner named Pasha who becomes her devoted protector and friend, Ice Cream Star plunges into the unknown, risking her freedom and ultimately her life. Traveling hundreds of miles across treacherous, unfamiliar territory, she will experience love, heartbreak, cruelty, terror, and betrayal, fighting to protect the only world she has ever known. A postapocalyptic literary epic as imaginative as The Passage and as linguistically ambitious as Cloud Atlas , The Country of Ice Cream Star is a breathtaking work from a writer of rare and unconventional talent. 606 $aFiction$2OverDrive 606 $aFantasy$2OverDrive 606 $aThriller$2OverDrive 615 17$aFiction. 615 7$aFantasy. 615 7$aThriller. 686 $aFIC002000$aFIC009010$aFIC055000$2bisacsh 700 $aNewman$b Sandra$0608797 701 $aPitts$b Lisa Renee$01775756 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910151958403321 996 $aThe country of ice cream star$94290815 997 $aUNINA
