Life at McKinley is brutal, and it’s worse if you don’t have a gang, like David Thorpe and his younger brother Will. They also have a better chance of getting supplies when the students fight over the food drop that is delivered every two weeks. Gangs protect their members and trade services and supplies. Students will only be allowed to leave the school once they’ve passed through puberty and the virus leaves their bodies, in which case they have to get out quickly to avoid a swift and horrible death.īy this point the students have already divided into gangs based on American-style social cliques – Varsity (jocks), Pretty Ones, Geeks, Sluts, Nerds, Freaks and Skaters. Over a month later it’s explained that the students are all infected with a virus that thrives only in the bodies of pubescent teenagers, making them instantly fatal to any child or adult they approach. They seal off the building, trapping everyone inside. Soldiers surround the school and gun down any student who tries to escape. All the adults suddenly vomit up their lungs and die. On the first day of school at McKinley High an explosion destroys the East Wing. Source: eARC from the publisher via NetGalley Author: Lex Thomas (pen name for Lex Hrabe and Thomas Voorhies)
