![]() ![]() And a lot of what Varsity does, led by Sam, is downright despicable (and bloody). While the other kids starve to death and attempt to trade just to survive, Varsity hunts down David and anyone who attempts to stand in their way. ![]() The most athletic group in the school has become a violent gang, and they horde all the food. Neither does Will, or Lucy, or any of the other kids quarantined in the school-except the Varsity. But, it’s easy to judge them from the comfort of your own home, where you can put down the book to take a break, make yourself a huge sandwich, and then come back to it. This was a great story, but reader beware, you might hate most of the characters… it’s hard not to, when they’re all out for blood, turning on each other in the blink of an eye for a morsel of food. ![]() In this frighteningly dark and captivating novel, Lex Thomas locks readers inside a school where kids don’t fight to be popular, they fight to stay alive. It’s just him and his little brother, Will, against the whole school. Violent gangs have formed based on high school social cliques. All the students are infected with a virus that makes them deadly to adults. And that was just the beginning.Ī year later, McKinley has descended into chaos. When loner David Thorpe tried to help his English teacher to safety, the teacher convulsed and died right in front of him. From Goodreads: It was just another ordinary day at McKinley High-until a massive explosion devastated the school. ![]()
