Quarantine: The Loners
Quarantine: The Loners | Lex Thomas
8 posts | 15 read | 5 to read
As original as "The Hunger Games," set within the walls of a high school exactly like yours. Kami Garcia, "New York Times "best-selling co-author of the "Beautiful Creatures" novels It was just another ordinary day at McKinley High until a massive explosion devastated the school. When loner David Thorpe tried to help his English teacher to safety, the teacher convulsed and died right in front of him. And that was just the beginning. A year later, McKinley has descended into chaos. All the students are infected with a virus that makes them deadly to adults. The school is under military quarantine. The teachers are gone. Violent gangs have formed based on high school social cliques. Without a gang, you re as good as dead. And David has no gang. It s just him and his little brother, Will, against the whole school. In this frighteningly dark and captivating novel, Lex Thomas locks readers inside a school where kids don t fight to be popular, they fight to stay alive. "Take Michael Grant's "Gone" and Veronica Roth's "Divergent," rattle them in a cage until they're ready to fight to the death, and you'll have something like this nightmarish debut...Thomas' whirlwind pace, painful details, simmering sexual content, and moments of truly shocking ultra-violence thrust this movie-ready high school thriller to the head of the class." - "Booklist" (starred review)"

When a middle school students says, "Mrs. Ross, I'm reading the best series - you HAVE to read it!" I really have no choice, do I? Well, I'm reading it... and it's not good... ?
When she asks what I thought on Monday, I'll say it was "intense."

A horrible chemical explosion destroys half of McKinley High School and creates a mutation that is fatal to adults. After the military had boarded up the school and all the staff had died, the students are abandoned and left to fend for themselves…

This book catches my interests. So far 7 chapters in or 74 pages in. Quarantine takes a highschool setting where kids are diagnosed with a virus that makes them dangerous to adults and children and they have to survive to lose the virus and get out alive. This book not for kids by the way. Kids dont fight to be popular, kids fight to survive
