RaveThe MissourianJane is badass. No other way to describe her. She’s smart, intuitive, and great with a gun. Jane notices when people judge her for being black and makes the most of it. Having people underestimate her is one of the best contributions to the whole novel, along with Kate’s amazing acting skills. This intriguing novel tackles difficult issues like slavery, and white supremacy. I recommend Dread Nation to those who like a strong female lead and books with nail biting moments, because what’s better than a rebel who likes to chop off the heads of zombies?
