Lord of the Flies for a new generation. A virus wiped out all the children and all the adults, leaving only teenagers to fend for themselves. Naturally, no one can get along, so it's essentially all out war whenever one group moves into a different territory. One group thinks they might know how to fix "The Sickness", so they go on a dangerous trek across New York to try to reverse the apocalypse - or at least get a fresh start. Lots of adventure, intelligent, funny, snarky narrators, roundish characters, and a solid sci-fi bend to a classic post-apocalyptic tale. Can't wait for the sequel.
