Falling bubbles transform everyone who comes into contact with them into monsters that can kill people just by touching them. Teenager Erin Fredericks, her family, and neighbors are trapped in their homes by the evolving creatures Erin calls "touchers." Facing a seemingly invincible foe, how will they manage to survive?
One touch and you're dead...
One minute, Erin Fredericks is daydreaming in geometry class. The next minute, she's running for her life. Oddly shaped bubbles are falling from the sky all over the world, transforming everyone who comes into contact with them into extraordinary beings that are no longer human. And these monsters want to kill people, which they can do just by touching them.
Phone systems in the United States immediately fail, followed soon after by the collapse of the power grid. With communication impossible, society disintegrates into chaos as bubble-generated monsters prowl the streets, searching for human prey.
Erin, her family, and her neighbors are trapped in their houses by Cyndy Louise, one of the evolving creatures Erin calls "touchers." As the situation worsens, Erin and the remaining residents of Walnut Lane—along with a handsome young stranger—must fight for their food, their homes, and their very lives. Facing a seemingly invincible foe, how will they manage to survive?
Excerpt
"And then I found this, which is supposed to be from Mexico, if it's true..."
The screen showed a little baby in a busy city street. The baby was lying on top of a woman, maybe its mother, who had collapsed, and it seemed to be crying. Its mouth was open—but there was no sound with this picture so you couldn't hear anything. Around the baby, piled up on the floor, were about twenty people, all of them in crumpled positions, and all of them looked like they were dead.
"What do you think happened?" Mom asked me.
"I think a bubble landed on this baby and now lots of people want to help it, but whoever touches the baby just falls down and dies."
