A deadly virus, red fever, has killed most
people on Earth. Scotland is a wasteland,
overrun by wild dogs. Tobys little sister Sylvie

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 its too late?

There was so much happening that I just wanted to keep reading on to find out what was going to happen next; it was a book I just couldn't put down.'
