Books with title Strangers

The zombie apocalypse is not forgiving, especially in the world of The Orphans. A group of teens against all odds continue to survive against the challenges presented to them in a world where the rules have changed and the Turned are trying to devour them. These are not your typical slow zombies these zombies are the fast, strong, and by far the smartest that you will encounter. Don't miss Strangers!!!If you enjoy books by Mark Tufo with Zombie Fallout, or Nicholas Sansbury Smith & Extinction Cycle than this is a series for you. The dead are walking, they can rip your car door or arm off, they are stronger than imaginable with more surprises down the road filled with the dead in the streets.

Fast-paced, enormously cinematic, and full of inventive world-building, diverse characters, and moral complexity, Stranger is speculative fiction and its best - and its most true to our lives. Many generations ago, a mysterious cataclysm struck the world. Governments collapsed and people scattered to rebuild where they could. A mutation called the Change arose, granting some people unique powers. Though the area once known as Los Angeles retains its cultural diversity, its technological marvels have faded into legend. "Las Anclas" now resembles a Wild West frontier town - where the Sheriff possesses superhuman strength, the doctor can warp time to heal his patients, and the distant ruins of an ancient city bristle with deadly crystalline trees that take their jewel-like colors from the clothes of the people they killed. Teenage prospector Ross Juarez's best find ever - an ancient book he doesn't know how to read - nearly costs him his life when a bounty hunter is sent to kill him and steal the book. Ross barely makes it to Las Anclas, bringing with him a precious artifact, a power no one has ever had before, and a whole lot of trouble.

The Dustbin Men series is a collection of short stories(originally based on anti-litter), where funny little men dressed in dustbins (the English word for trash-can), have all sorts of adventures whilst picking up litter. I wrote illustrated and read them to my younger children who now read the same stories to their younger children and urge me to share them with the world. Some have been lost and forgotten over the years and I have created others in their place, but I have kept the originals, as near as possible, to how they were twenty five years ago, (some are in rhyme while others are not).In England, a dustbin is the word we use for trash-can. Up until a few years ago each house had a dustbin with the number of the house it belonged to painted on the side, hence I use numbers for the names of each Dustbin Man, (Greeny-Two, Hungry-Eight, Professor-One, ect).The story 'Strangers' is not a typical Dustbin Man tale. It came about when my young son's friend asked where the Dustbin Men came from. At that same time a child had gone missing in the west of England and the police and local community were searching for him. I felt upset and useless being too far away to help, and when the child was found murdered I wrote a story that might teach any child it is read to, never to go off with strangers.It's the only Dustbin Man story that has no happy ending, and it broke my heart to create a new Dustbin Man who would be sacrificed in the story for the purpose of saving real children from harm.Be prepared to talk to the children you read this story to, there will be questions so please answer them truthfully. If it saves just one child from harm it was well worth writing..
