Red Fever
£2.99
No school. No phones. No friends. Just a race for survival.
A deadly virus, red fever, has killed most
people on Earth. Scotland is a wasteland,
overrun by wild dogs. Tobyâs little sister Sylvie
is dangerously ill, so his family set sail along
the north-east coast in search of medicine.
As fierce pirates pursue them, and hungry
dogs hound them, will they find a cure
for Sylvie before itâs too late?
