The Lucky Prepper: A Gardener's Story of Surviving a Pandemic

Lucky Prepper, Book 1

De: Emma Zeth

Narrado por: Esther Wane

What do you eat when the shops run out of food?

Zoe loves teaching science, she loves her garden, and most of all she loves her quiet, peaceful bungalow. Then at school, people start falling ill. The virus is airborne and highly infectious. It starts with flu symptoms, confusion, and sleepiness, which worsen until one day they just don't wake up. It decimates the population and leaves chaos in its wake. Now Zoe has to find a way to survive.

Luckily, when the pandemic strikes, she already has a greenhouse full of vegetable seedlings, but not everyone around is as prepared. Can she avoid the people hunting for food: the "knockers" who don't always just knock? And will her strategy of stay in, hide, and wait be enough?

The story was very heartwarming

I really liked the story. There was a tranquility not found in other pandemic stories that I appreciated. Maybe a little naive, but still a good listen!

What a delightful surprise!

This audiobook was such a treat! Very different from the other apocalypse books which is a good thing if you are wanting something unique. The narrator was wonderful also. I’m sad there’s just the one book but it wraps up nicely even though a second book would have been lovely. I definately recommend!

Not like all the rest

It was an interesting story with new ideas for apocalyptic novels. No zombies, plenty of twists though.

unique!!!

I love the unique perspective on an outbreak story. not too dark and full of actual gardening tips! I hope to hear more!

Refreshingly different

Nice Surprise twist and refreshingly different than other books in the post apocalyptic genre.
Enjoyable.

Great Story

This was a very pleasant story. I hope that there will be a part 2.

unexpected, but great nonetheless

like previous reviews, it's not your typical post apocalyptic book. But, it is a great listen and proves that literally anyone can become the person someone else needs them to be.

Refreshing

Quite refreshing for this genre. Devoid of testosterone and replete with caring, welcoming people despite living through desperate times. Absolutely loved this mostly gentle tale of people surviving and thriving despite great difficulties.

help helps

I completely understood how she was afraid at first. As she started helping others she found inner peace.

Well done

I enjoyed this book. It’s a different approach to SHTF. Especially the idea of an apocalypse in a gunless society
