Quarantine: The Loners by Lex Thomas

  This book is about a high school in which a disease deadly to all adults and children, so only the adolescents are immune, has infected all of the inhabitants. Because of this disease that got into the school, the government has quarantined it which is now full of only students as the teachers have all died gruesome deaths due to the outbreak. The main characters David and Will must fight within the school for food, supplies, and must stay alive in a setting where almost everyone is a part of a gang. Those left to fight for themselves, just as David and Will are, are at a disadvantage when the food drops and fights begin.

   For someone who enjoys post-apocalyptic and creepy young adult novels, I really loved this book. The characters are very easy to relate to such as the character of David who is determined to keep his younger brother Will, who struggles with epilepsy, safe from harm. Also, the book was very captivating overall because I kept wondering "Who will die next?" or "What is in store for these poor abandoned students?" I guarantee that this book will keep you at the edge of your sit (that is if you are sitting in a chair of some sort) until that puzzling twist ending that I am still thinking about. 

   Also, the next book in the Quarantine series by the writing team of Lex Thomas actually comes out tomorrow! Can't wait! It is called Quarantine: The Saints! Anyway, next I am going to be reading Reality Check by Peter Abrahams. Please leave a comment if you have read Quarantine or hope to after reading this (could you call it a review? kinda).  (PHOTO from Goodreads)
