The Enemy

Written By Charlie Higson
The Enemy grabs you by the neck...and bites off your ear!
It's kids versus zombies, and no one is playing nice. The action- and boy, is there action -takes is through a London transformed by the illness that has turned every adult into a shuffling, kid-crunching machine. Bonus: zombie royals, sheer fun.

A Devastating Disease
In the wake of a devastating disease, everyone sixteen and older is either dead or a decomposing, brainless creature with a ravenous appetite for flesh. Teens have barricaded themselves in buildings throughout London and venture outside only when they need to scavenge for food. The group of kids living a Waitrose supermarket is beginning to run out of options. When a mysterious traveler arrives and offers them safe haven at Buckingham Palace, they begin a harrowing journey across London. But their fight is far from over-the threat from within the palace is as real as the one outside it.Full of unexpected twists and quick-thinking heroes, The Enemy is a fast-paced, white-knuckle tale of survival in the face of unimaginable horror.
Characters!
Arran
Arran went to Waitrose soon after the disease first broke out, and he quickly became leader with Maxie as his second in command when the other kids needed someone to look up to. He was in charge of the running of the settlement and had to take responsibility of finding food, and so regularly went on scavenging parties. He commanded the respect of all the others at Waitrose, and it is implied that he used to get into skirmishes with the Morrisons kids along with the rest of his fighters, but had a respect for Blue and the other Morrisons kids.
Maxie
Maxie showed up at Waitrose on Holloway road shortly after the disease first broke out along with the other kids, and she quickly became one of the leaders which other children looked up to, next to Arran, though he took over all responsibility. Together they led the kids at Waitrose and helped them manage to survive a year before the events in the first book.
Small Sam
He is taken by Grown Ups when they come over a low wall in the Waitrose supermarket which can't be seen by the crows nest. When Maxie and Josh come over to help he is already gone and those at Holloway Road think he's dead
