The Enemy by Charlie Higson

When the sickness came, every parent, policeman, politician, every adult, fell ill. The lucky ones died. The others are crazed, confused and hungry. Only children under 14 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.

It is really good. I recommend everybody to read it all. N.C. (S1) *****

Greatest book I’ve read yet. Well done Mr Higson. M.G. (S1) *****

Hurricane Gold by Charlie Higson

“As the sun blazes over the Caribbean island of Lagrimas Negras, its bloodthirsty ruler is watching and waiting. Criminals come here to hide, with blood on their hands and escape on their minds. On the mainland, in the quiet town of Tres Hermanas, ex-flying ace Jack Stone leaves his son and daughter in the company of James Bond. But a gang of thieves lies in ambush – they want Stone’s precious safe, and will kill for its contents. James embarks on a deadly chase through the Mexican jungle. On this terrifying trail of greed and betrayal, only danger is guaranteed …Survival is not.”

Fantastic book full of explosive action, gripping suspense and a handful of twists in the writing. One of my favourite books. *****
