Review

"The nicely balanced mix of coming-of-age novel, science-fiction adventure, and dystopic thriller will make this an appealing choice for a range of genre readers."

"Todd's colloquial voice is by turns defensive, belligerent, innocent, and desperate; the strength of his point of view and the subtle world-building contained in it make this series opener as promising as it is provocative."

Annotation

A lone boy in a town of violent men with a frightening secret, a beguiling silence in the forest amidst intensely audible thoughts everywhere else, and a race against death make for a gripping fantasy. Todd Hewitt is the only boy in town, where all the women were killed off by the bug that allows for everyone to hear each other's thoughts, including the animals. As his coming-of-age nears, Todd discovers the horrifying truth and flees, along with his dog, and meets a girl whose thoughts he can not hear. The trio find themselves on the run, struggling to survive while being hunted to keep the town's savage secret safe. The first in the Chaos Walking series.

A dystopian thriller follows a boy and girl on the run from a town where all thoughts can be heard -- and the passage to manhood embodies a horrible secret.
Todd Hewitt is the only boy in a town of men. Ever since the settlers were infected with the Noise germ, Todd can hear everything the men think, and they hear everything he thinks. Todd is just a month away from becoming a man, but in the midst of the cacophony, he knows that the town is hiding something from him -- something so awful Todd is forced to flee with only his dog, whose simple, loyal voice he hears too. With hostile men from the town in pursuit, the two stumble upon a strange and eerily silent creature: a girl. Who is she? Why wasn't she killed by the germ like all the females on New World? Propelled by Todd's gritty narration, readers are in for a white-knuckle journey in which a boy on the cusp of manhood must unlearn everything he knows in order to figure out who he truly is.
