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 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.

Didn't know this was a zombie book going into it. My biggest gripe with it is that it seems like it would be easy to clear out hungries in an area. The book already talks about how they'd dump the hungries into a lye pit to get rid of them. Why not dig a big lye pit, hang something loud and moving over the middle of it to attract the hungries, and they'd fall into it.
