The Fear — Charlie Higson

THE DISEASE STRUCK everyone sixteen and older. Mothers and fathers, older brothers, sisters, and best friends -- no one escaped its touch. And now children are being hunted by ferocious grown-ups who are hungry for young flesh and not giving up.

A year after the disease turned their world upside down, DogNut and his crew set off on a perilous journey from the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace to find their long-lost friends. But the sickos lie in wait. To make matters worse, DogNut unknowingly sets off a chain of events that will affect every kid in the city. Throughout this dangerous expedition -- dodging sickos and fighting for their lives at every turn -- will the survivors be able to tell their friends from their enemies? Packed with action, adventure, and a cast of gripping characters, The Fear will have readers foaming at the mouth for more.
