Children of the Kraal: First in the Series

First in the series. A very fast paced Sc Fi Fantasy novel by a bestselling author. Set in the Dystopian future, mankind has nearly destroyed itself in nuclear wars giving the Kraal (Sasquatch and The Yeti) chance to take over the world. Mankind is enslaved and forced to work for the Kraal until a band of children/teens, led by Jessica, escape and fight back. Jessica is an amazing leader who hates the Kraal so much that she screams when she fights them! Her second in command, Tom, is quiet and serious and a foil for the other girls in the band. The novel is packed with action but concentrates more on the personalities of the children who have to learn to form a society without the guidance of adults, how to organize, to establish discipline and all the problems of relationships and the facts of life. A heartwarming novel with many nail biting scenes and some very tragic moments.
