Convinced the world at large can’t be trusted to prioritize the well-being of adolescent girls in the event of a cataclysmic event, a determined troupe of preteen “doomers” commit to preparing for survival in the post-collapse society they anticipate inheriting. What they discover changes everything—eighth grade will never be the same. A darkly comic coming-of-age story for complicated times is for any young woman who has ever been told that she is “too much,” or that what she fears is illegitimate, or that what she has to say is less important than keeping the peace.
