WINNER OF THE 2020 CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL. Things are tense at home
for Nicky and Kenny. Their mum's coming to visit and it will be the
first time they've seen her in years. A lot has changed since they
were little and Nicky's not so sure he's ready to see her again.
When they head for a trek across the moors to take their minds off
everything, a series of unforeseen circumstances leaves the
brothers in a vulnerable and very dangerous position. There might
even be a chance that this time not everyone will make it home
alive...
Jamie and Andrew are strangers, but they're two of the last people
left alive. They don't know what they'll find on their dangerous
journey ... but they may just find each other. A queer romance
about courage, hope and humanity for fans of They Both Die at the
End, The Hunger Games and Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda. When
the Superflu wipes out most of the population, Jamie finds himself
completely alone in a cabin in the woods - until an injured
stranger crosses his path. Life is dangerous now and, armed with a
gun, Jamie goes to pull the trigger. But there's something about
Andrew ... something that stops Jamie in his tracks. Jamie takes
him in, and as Andrew heals and they eventually step out into the
strange new world, their relationship starts to feel like more than
just friendship ... But trouble isn't far behind. As the boys make
a perilous journey south, they'll come face to face with a world
torn apart and society in ruins. And who, or what, will they find
waiting for them at the end of it all? "Tense, exciting, sometimes
heartbreaking and always romantic, All That's Left in the World
explores what it means to hold onto hope and humanity when the
worst case scenario becomes reality. With characters you'll adore,
and a fast-paced, mysterious plot that keeps you turning the pages
as fast as you can devour them, this book is not to be missed." -
Sophie Gonzales, author of ONLY MOSTLY DEVASTATED "Brown has
somehow achieved a book that is romantic, hilarious, warm-hearted,
hopeful, and page-turningly thrilling all at once. I was hooked
from beginning to end." - Dahlia Adler, author of COOL FOR THE
SUMMER "A timeless love story that could not be more appropriate
for this moment, All That's Left in the World is a thrilling,
heartfelt, and beautifully written debut." - Tom Ryan, author of I
HOPE YOU'RE LISTENING "Survival is core to the queer experience,
and in All That's Left In the World, Brown takes that to
apocalyptic extremes with the story of Andrew and Jamie. This is
quintessentially brave, dangerous-in-the-best-way queer
storytelling!" - Adam Sass, author of SURRENDER YOUR SONS "All
That's Left in the World is unfailingly riveting and hopeful. A
timely exploration of survival, trauma, and love stitched together
with sharp wit and bone-deep emotion. Erik J. Brown is an
invigorating voice to watch out for." - Julian Winters,
award-winning author of RUNNING WITH LIONS
