The first phenomenal adventure in this edge-of-your-seat series from bestselling author Charlie Higson.

The first phenomenal adventure in a heartstopping new series — now in paperback.

They'll chase you. They'll rip you open. They'll feed on you...

When the sickness came, every parent, police officer, politician — every adult — fell ill. The lucky ones died. The others are crazed, confused and hungry. Only children under fourteen 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, where all through the city — down alleyways, in deserted houses, underground — the grown-ups lie in wait.

But can they make it there — alive?
