The Girl With All the Gifts: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *
The USA Today bestseller
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.
The Girl With All the Gifts is a groundbreaking thriller, emotionally charged and gripping from beginning to end.
*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

“Narrator Finty Williams wisely sidesteps the sensationalistic tone that would be easy to bring to this novel…[and] makes it clear that Melanie is a child, full of wonder and curiosity…This zombie story is about self-discovery and finding humanity in unexpected places. And Williams’ performance is pitch-perfect. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

Quotes
-
“Original, thrilling, and powerful.”
— Guardian (London) -
“In less capable hands, this could have been a stock story with stock types, but the people here, and their relationships, are so compelling that they elevate the story into something worth caring about.”
— RT Book Reviews (4 stars) -
“One of the more imaginative and ingenious additions to the dystopian canon.”
— Kirkus Reviews -
“Like Max Brooks did with World War Z, Carey turns the zombie genre on its head. While the setting is a stark dystopian future teeming with undead, this moving story’s real focus is the relationships and growth of the characters, not who or what they are.”
