The Enemy (The Enemy #1)
I love zombie apocalypse in all media apart from in books, it seems. I find the high-action scenes that work so well on screen fail to appeal to me in quite the same way, in literary format.

The Enemy, by Charlie Higson. I got to hear Charlie speak at the Disney-Hyperion dinner at BEA in New York.

Ilustration Concering Books The Enemy (The Enemy #1)
Charlie Higson's The Enemy is the first in a jaw-dropping zombie horror series for teens. Everyone over the age of fourteen has succumbed to a deadly zombie virus and now the kids must keep themselves alive. When the sickness came, every parent, police officer, politician - every adult fell ill. The lucky ones died. The others are crazed, confused and hungry. Only children under fourteen remain, and they're fighting to survive. Now there are rumours of a safe place to hide. And so a gang of children begin their quest across London, where all through the city - down alleyways, in deserted houses, underground - the grown-ups lie in wait. But can they make it there - alive? This edition contains the first chapter of the second book The Dead.Point Epithetical Books The Enemy (The Enemy #1)
