Only one in two thousand survive the virus, and these \"Survivors\" are rarely left unaffected. By 2038, only thirty-eight million people remain on Earth. Most of them live in small communities, ever fearful of outsiders who might bring the deadly Flu. Ceej Kane lives with his uncle and his Survivor sister, Harryette, in an abandoned hotel on the rim of the Grand Canyon. His quiet, boring life suddenly becomes a desperate adventure when Uncle and Harryette disappear. Searching for them, Ceej and his only friend, Tim, are attacked by the Kinka, a renegade band of half-mad Survivors who spread the Flu to make more of their own. Worse yet, it appears that Harryette has joined them. Fleeing deep into the canyon, a narrow land of ghosts and ancient secrets, Ceej and Tim meet Bella, a mysterious Hopi girl. She has been searching the canyon for the Sipapuni, a mystical portal that the Hopi believe leads to another world. Tim thinks Bella is crazy, but Ceej is not so sure. Maybe there is a way out of this Flu-ravaged world. But first they must find out what happened to Uncle, and they must save Harryette from the Kinka -- if she wants to be saved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePete Hautman is the author of National Book Award-winning novel \u003ci\u003eGodless\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSweetblood\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHole in the Sky\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStone Cold\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Flinkwater Factor\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Forgetting Machine\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMr. Was\u003c\/i\u003e, which was nominated for an Edgar Award by the Mystery Writers of America, as well as several adult novels.
