Synopsis

Shadowman, realizing that Saint George's army is headed toward the center of London, has raced ahead to warn the kids of the impending disaster. He knows that he has to make them understand--somehow--that they are going to have to work together. This means that Nicola and her kids at the Houses of Parliament, David and his kids at Buckingham Palace, Matt at St. Paul's, General Jordan Hordern and his troops at the Tower of London, the squatters in St. James Park, and all the kids at the Natural History Museum must unite. But will they do it in time? The book culminates in a massive pitched battle in Hyde Park. How will it play out? Who will be the winners and who the losers? One thing is certain: this series will not go out with a whimper!

About this title

Review:

PRAISE FOR THE ENEMY

The Enemy grabs you by the throat . . . and bites off your ear. It's kids versus zombies and no one is playing nice. The action--and boy, is there action--takes us through a London transformed by the unexplained illness that has turned every adult into a shuffling, drooling, kid-crunching machine. Bonus: zombie royals. Sheer fun."--Michael Grant, author of the Gone series

PRAISE FOR THE DEAD

"With giant firestorms, rampaging hordes and continual life-and-death scenarios...Higson delivers an action-packed summer read."--Kirkus

PRAISE FOR THE ENEMY

"Lord of the Flies with zombies...tons of nail-biting action."--Rick Riordan

PRAISE FOR THE ENEMY

"Descriptive and suspenseful."--School Library Journal

PRAISE FOR THE ENEMY

..".the action is of the first order-Higson writes with a firestorm velocity that inspires to the sweeping reach of Stephen King's The Stand."--ALA Booklist

PRAISE FOR THE SACRIFICE

"Death, religion, friendship, survival, power, politics, and fear are explored throughout this installment. The storylines run full speed ahead in this horrifying page-turner. The solid writing is, at times, brilliant . . .The unanswered questions will prime readers for the next in the series."--VOYA
