- Synopsis
- 10-year-old Melanie is full of questions about the world. She has a favourite teacher, Dr. Justineau, and ancient history is her favourite subject. So, why is she chained to her school desk? And why do armed guards hover over Melanie and her classmates?
  
  Melanie and her fellow pupils are second-generation hybrids - part "Hungry", part human. The children that survived an apocalyptic, cannibal virus. But Melanie is more than a hybrid - she is evolution. Loving, smart, sensitive. Melanie is what we would wish for any chid - until she smells blood and needs to feed. Then she's more than a match for anyone or anything...
  
  When the base guarding Melanie and her classmates is overrun by Hungries, Melanie escapes with the teacher who loves her, the soldier who would kill her, and the scientist who would dissect her. Bound to each other as survivors on a life-raft, can the group recognise Melanie as the cure for the human race or its destruction?
