The Power . It dips slightly in the middle but the ending esp the last line makes up for it.

Thanks... Ready player one I saw at cinema. Indeed was clever
Ya fiction I can find a bit... Well teenager but will look at all the suggestions.
Someone in rl suggested the flood and the ark but hard sifi might be difficult, however I loved the passage and the two that followed and that's a bit way out there... Vampires and zombies. I will give anything a go once.

I enjoyed red rising trilogy (piers brown) and working my way back through Trudi Canavan (black magician trilogy, maybe more YA)
Ready player one is fab, as is 1984, there’s a great big series by Michael gant I think (starts off with plague, then hunger then pain, there’s about 7 of them) all YA esque too
Uglies worth a go, Graceling trilogy was fun will follow for inspiration

Have you read The Road by Cormac Mccarthy?
It's brilliant. About a father and young son travelling across America after some post apocalyptic catastrophe
