The second installment of this series really makes the first look like setup. Meg's transformation moves so rapidly that she begins to grow roots. So the only thing to do is take her into the forest to complete her full transformation into a tree. The narrative shifts to five years later: the world has ended, and Meg's older brother Josh Hayes (now mature and hardened) is one of the last people alive. He is out to save the world. We also learn more about Grandpa Judd and his whole history with the Arborists. And in the final pages Meg's tree begins to seed, with immediate--and shocking, maybe horrifying--effects on the people in the area. The human transformation into trees has begun.
