WHS Book of the Month (June) 

The Enemy by Charlie Higson - Charlie Higson's The Enemy imagines a world where children are forced to navigate a terrifying new reality alone. Set a year after an outbreak, the story follows a diverse group of young survivors in London as they embark on a perilous journey hoping to find safety. What makes this book compelling is how it explores the formation of distinct child-led societies, each with its own unique culture, leadership style, and moral code, revealing that survival often comes at a steep emotional cost. The narrative delivers intense action and genuine heartbreak, but it avoids relying on standard zombie tropes by giving the "Grown-Ups" unsettling, unpredictable behaviours that heighten the tension. This book masterfully balances some horror elements with a profound look at how young people have to adapt when their world falls apart. The Enemy is a clever and emotionally resonant tale that will have you racing to turn the pages from start to finish.
