Funny, funny stuff. Enough said. You'll have a good chuckle and NEVER look at "beauty pagents" the same again.

The Enemy by Charlie Higson

A new zombie book!!!!

It sounds funny to say, but I really enjoy reading books about the zombie apocalypse.

Everyone over the age of 16 is dead. The "grown-ups" wander the streets looking for children to eat. Yikes!!!

This first book in the series follows a group of children as they try to survive in London. After hearing that another group of children have made their home in Buckingham Palace, the group tries to make their way there. Unfortunately, it isn't what they hoped it would be.

It's a bit gory in spots, but it wouldn't be a zombie book if it wasn't☻
