Z for Zachariah

Product Information

It is revealed that, as a child, Ann had owned a Biblical ABC book which mentioned the prophet Zachariah.

The first oracle (Zechariah 9-11) gives an outline of the course of God's providential dealings with his people down to the time of the coming of the Messiah. This is supported by Zechariah's interest in the Temple and the priesthood, and from Iddo's preaching in the Books of Chronicles.Afraid he might be dangerous, Ann hides in a cave and does not warn the man when he mistakenly bathes in a radioactive stream. I mean that when they’re faced with challenging events such as illness or assault or being targeted by bullies, they’re able to tap into their own intelligence and resourcefulness. Ann Burden has been living alone in a valley for over a year - until Loomis, a scientist in a radiation-proof suit, arrives.

She lives with her dog, Faro, in a remote valley and, despite her desperate circumstances, is resourceful, calm and determined.This man, who is investigating the contents of the valley, takes his suit off and takes a bath in what is revealed to be radioactive water.

The Book of Zechariah, attributed to the Hebrew prophet Zechariah, is included in the Twelve Minor Prophets in the Hebrew Bible. She hopes they will be companions but his behaviour towards her becomes increasingly threatening as he attacks her and then cuts off her food supply and tries to bring her under his control. Loomis suggests she should act “more like an adult and less like a school girl”, implying she should submit to sleeping with him and stop being ridiculous.

He wrote three books for children, including the acclaimed MRS FRISBY AND THE RATS OF NIMH which won the prestigious Newbery Medal. His haunting young adult novel Z FOR ZACHARIAH was completed posthumously by his wife, Sally, and daughter, Jane, using the author's notes. This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Easton, Matthew George (1897). Ezekiel and Jeremiah wrote before the fall of Jerusalem while continuing to prophesy in the early exile period.When he does, she reveals her knowledge of Edward's murder, which shocks Loomis enough to stop him from shooting her.
