>>53 >>59 "Where the World Turns Wild" by Nicola Penfold is about people trapped in a city due to a deadly man-made pandemic. It was published around the start of Covid-19.
https://www.booktrust.org.uk/book/w/where-the-world-turns-wild/ >Juniper lives in a grey, concrete city, controlled with an iron grip by its so-call saviour, Portia Steel. Fifty years ago, a group of renegade eco-activists released a deadly virus into the environment and the city built its walls to keep nature – and the virus – out. There are no plants, birds or animals, and everyone is taught to fear the wild. But, born outside the walls, Juniper thinks differently: she dreams of green things and freedom.
Juniper and Bear travel to Ennerdale. JB? Wild Palms (1993) stars James Belushi.
>Juniper and her little brother Bear decide to escape the city and undertake a dangerous journey across the wilderness in search of their first home, Ennerdale. It will take everything they have to get there and will challenge everything they think they know about the world around them.
