Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane BuxtonRead about the other titles on the list.
If you like hilarious novels that will also make you cry, this one is perfect for you! It’s about a virus that makes all the humans sick (like zombies), leaving the animals to fend for themselves. It’s narrated by S.T., a domesticated talking crow with a potty mouth (S.T. stands for “Shit Talker”), who sets out into the big world to find a cure. Because if he can find a cure for the humans, he can save his owner, Big Jim, who will then resume feeding S.T. the snack foods he loves. But the world turns out to be a lot more scary and complicated than he expected.
Hollow Kingdom is among E.B. Bartels's rhirteen books about the joy in a life filled with non-human creatures.
