The Fallen by Charlie Higson is the fifth awesome book in The Enemy
series. First the sickness rotted the adults' minds. Then their
bodies. Now they stalk the streets, hunting human flesh. The

and made it to the Natural History Museum alive - just. But the
fight will never end while the Enemy lives, unless there's another
way. . . The kids at the museum are looking for a cure. All they
need are medical supplies. To get them means a journey down unknown
roads. Roads where not only crazed, hungry sickos hide in the
shadows. SUDDENLY IT'S NOT SO CLEAR WHO - OR WHAT - THEY'RE
FIGHTING. The fourth terrifying part of Charlie Higson's
bestselling Enemy series. The Enemy is among us. . . ** 2013 is the
year of zombies, with Brad Pitt's World War Z and Nicholas Holt's
Warm Bodies films hitting cinemas. ** 'Lord of the Flies with
zombies' - Rick Riordan, creator of the Percy Jackson series. **

SUMMER 1914. When Fran unearths a bone in the garden of Longbarrow

wheelchair-bound Leo company, Fran is forced to listen to his
foolish theories about the looming threat of war in Europe. But as

to fear that Leo's dire predictions might be coming true ... Queen

debut with a powerful, evocative, and spine-tingling story of
