The Enemy: Charlie Higson
The Enemy is the first book in a series set in a dystopian future. It is a world where everyone over the age of 14 has basically turned into a zombie from the Walking Dead and travel in packs trying to hunt and kill the surviving children.
It follows the stories of Maxie, the second in command of a group of kids who have taken refuge inside of a Waitrose (at least they have nice food!) and Small Sam, a young boy snatched by the zombies.
Small Sam escapes from the clutches of the zombies and tries to return to the Waitrose group who have since left to seek shelter at a rumoured refuge in Buckingham Palace told to them by Jester, a kid they meet. When Small Sam makes it back to Waitrose he now has to scramble to catch up with his former group, fighting his way through zombies and cannibals before he makes friends with an older boy named The Kid. Together they try to reach the palace but who knows what lies in wait?
All in all this a great book with all the action and danger of a James Bond movie. I highly recommend it to you guys, but it can be a bit disturbing for younger readers. You have been warned.
Suitable for older readers only (11+)
