Young adult post-catastrophe dystopia set in Australia. The catastrophe, which is not described, has left people fighting to survive and turning to cannibalism. Taronga, which is the Sydney zoo, looks like a food source to some but others protect the animals. At the end, after an epic battle, the animals are freed and move out into the countryside as do the central characters, a girl and a boy.
