Enemy | Charlie Higson
In the wake of a devastating disease, everyone sixteen and older is either dead or a decomposing, brainless creature with a ravenous appetite for flesh. Teens have barricaded themselves in buildings throughout London and venture outside only when they need to scavenge for food. The group of kids living a Waitrose supermarket is beginning to run out of options. When a mysterious traveler arrives and offers them safe haven at Buckingham Palace, they begin a harrowing journey across London. But their fight is far from over-the threat from within the palace is as real as the one outside it.Full of unexpected twists and quick-thinking heroes, The Enemy" is a fast-paced, white-knuckle tale of survival in the face of unimaginable horror.

It took a few chapters to really hook me, but once it did I couldn't put it down! Can't wait to see what the rest of the series has in store!

The Circumstantial Enemy by John R. Bell is a wonderful historical fiction novel set in Croatia during WWII. Great cast of characters to both live and hate. The story is loosely based on the author's father-in-law's war experience. A must read for all WWII buffs.

This was so good. Seth (10) and I just finished it - he‘s not read a post-apocalypse story before and he loved it as did I. I would give a warning if reading with children - it is very gory and brutal and also very scary for some kids in a variety of ways. Seth doesn‘t tend to be scared by “classic” scary stuff hence I was happy to read him it, but some may not cope so well. Lots of swearing too! We‘re diving straight into The Dead #raisingreaders

Quasifesto I tore through that whole series. I‘m not a child, but I WISH there had been books like this available to me at 10 years old. 6y
JillR @quadifesto it was so good! And nice to be reading a book with him that didn‘t necessarily feel like a children‘s book. I think I‘d have been a bit young at 10 but definitely from 12+. Really looking forward to the next one 👍 6y
AmandaL My oldest son loved this series when he was younger! 6y

What happens when all the grown ups turn into zombies and the kids have to look after themselves? Charlie Higson will tell you! What an excellent book. I was hooked on this and will be reading the rest of the series. It's classed as a YA book but in all honestly, at 35 years of age I was scared!

Gritty, dark natured, hopeful and revealing of human nature. The characters all felt well developed and authentic. The various view points and narration of characters had me gripped throughout. A good read!
