Summary

The first plague of modern times leaves no one alive over the age of sixteen. In a new world with no adults and no rules, seven young dancers battle to prevent humanity’s slide back to the Stone Age. As the first plague of modern times devastates the world, sparing nobody over the age of sixteen, the members of a youth morris dancing side are forced to take responsibility not just for themselves but for a group of much younger children. At first they struggle just to survive in an increasingly hostile world but it gradually becomes clear that what remains of the human race is on a one way trip back to the stone age. Can the seven young dancers build a more meaningful future? I’ve rated this book PG. Whilst I’ve kept explicit ‘blood and guts’ to a minimum some themes may be disturbing for some younger readers.
