Klimek, complemented by the melancholy illustrations of Romanian surrealist, Norbert Somosi. -Gladys was a good-natured, trusting sort of girl, and as curious as a cat. Come to mention it, whatever happened to our cats? Or to our hound? Or for that matter, to Gladys?- ""The sight of it filled us with dread, yet she seemed strangely calm. 'Aren't you a hungry thing!' she said, and fed it from her palm.""

Hungry Thing and his daughter visit a school and ask for flamburgers, bellyjeans, and blownuts to eat.

When Thalia meets a boy who is part of an underground movement to bring food back, she realizes that there is an entire world outside her own. She also starts to feel hunger, and so does the boy. Are the meds no longer working? Together, they set out to find the only thing that will quell their hunger: real food. It's a journey that will change everything Thalia thought she knew.
