I love a dark children's book. The one's I like tend to be from the late 1960's early 1970's . My collection of them is fairly large and one of my top picks is Jacqueline Jackson's 1973 story called Endless Pavement {"Living in a time when people are the servants of automobiles and ruled by the master auto of the planet, Josette longs to leave her rollabout and try her legs"}.
Another good one that heavily influenced me is a book I found at the school library in 7th grade. Written in 1977 by O.T Nelson The Girl Who Owned a City (the cover Amazon has listed is so ugly). {"A killing virus has swept the earth, sparing only children through the age of twelve. There is chaos everywhere, even in formely prosperous mid-America. Gangs and fierce armies of children begin to form almost immediately....... Then Lisa conceives the idea of a fortress, a city in which the children could live safely and happily always, and she intends to lead them there."}
It's late, super sleeps time. Tomorrow morning I vote and wish for the lesser of two evils.
