Melanie is a very special girl. Dr. Caldwell calls her "our little genius."
Every
morning, Melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class. When they
come for her, Sergeant Parks keeps his gun pointing at her while two of
his people strap her into the wheelchair. She thinks they don't like
her. She jokes that she won't bite, but they don't laugh.
Melanie
loves school. She loves learning about spelling and sums and the world
outside the classroom and the children's cells. She tells her favorite
teacher all the things she'll do when she grows up. Melanie doesn't know
why this makes Miss Justineau look sad.
The Girl with All the Gifts is a sensational thriller, perfect for fans of Stephen King, Justin Cronin, and Neil Gaiman.
