DREAD NATION - JUSTINA IRELAND KARTONIERT (TB)

Jane McKeene was born two days before the dead began to walk the battlefields of Gettysburg 
Pennsylvania-derailing the War Between the States and changing the nation forever. In this new
America  safety for all depends on the work of a few  and laws like the Native and Negro
Education Act require certain children attend combat schools to learn to put down the dead.
Jane is studying to become an Attendant: trained in both weaponry and etiquette to protect the
well-to-do. It's a chance for a better life for Negro girls like Jane. After all  not even
being the daughter of a wealthy white Southern woman could save her from society's
expectations. But that's not a life Jane wants. Almost finished with her education at Miss
Preston's School of Combat in Baltimore  Jane is set on returning home. She doesn't pay much
mind to the politics of the eastern cities  with their talk of returning America to the glory
of its days before the dead rose. But when families around Baltimore County begin to go missing
Jane is caught in the middle of a conspiracy that finds her in a desperate fight for her life
against some powerful enemies. And the restless dead  it would seem  are the least of her
problems. At once provocative  terrifying  and darkly subversive  Dread Nation is Justina
Ireland's stunning vision of an America both foreign and familiar-a country on the brink  at
the explosive crossroads where race  humanity  and survival meet.
