FROM THE WORLD OF ROBERT KIRKMAN'S THE WALKING DEAD...
...CLEMENTINE LIVES

Clementine is back on the road, looking to put her traumatic past behind her and forge a new path all her own.

But when she comes across an Amish teenager named Amos with his head in the clouds, the unlikely pair journeys North to an abandoned ski resort in Vermont, where they meet up with a small group of teenagers attempting to build a new, walker-free settlement.

As friendship, rivalry, and romance begin to blossom amongst the group, the harsh winter soon reveals that the biggest threat to their survival...might be each other.

“A poignant Walking Dead coming-of-age story, told through the eyes of one the most layered and complex characters in the series. Simultaneously brutal and tender.” Tri Vuong (Everyday Hero Machine Boy, Lego: Ninjago)

"This is a fantastically gritty, coming-of-age tale starring my absolute favorite heroine from The Walking Dead series. The stark visuals and heavy atmosphere draw you in and make you feel as if you are a part of the struggle, fighting and surviving alongside Clementine as she overcomes loss and finds new hope on her journey." Michelle Fus (Ava's Demon)

“Despite steeling myself for Tillie Walden's zombie apocalypse, I was full of equal parts dread and hope on every single page — I couldn't put Clementine down until I'd seen her terse, poignant journey through.” Irma Kniviila (Everyday Hero Machine Boy)

“Tillie Walden's Clementine asks a difficult question: Can honest, true innocence survive the end of the world? A hard and rewarding read. Just amazing.” Pablo Tunica (Sea Serpent's Heir)
