A brilliantly imagined new 8+ adventure about resilience, family and hope. From the bestselling and Waterstones Children's Book Prize shortlisted author of BOY IN THE TOWER. Perfect for fans of Ross Welford, Lisa Thompson and Onjali Rauf. Rule number one: Always be prepared . . . Billy's mum isn't like other mums. All she wants is to teach him the Rules of Survival - how to make fire, build shelter and find food. She likes to test Billy on the rules until one day she goes too far, and Billy is sent to live with a dad he barely knows. Then the world changes forever as people begin to be infected with a mysterious virus that turns their skin grey. As chaos breaks out, Billy has to flee the city. Suddenly he realises that this is what his mum was preparing him for - not just to save his family, but to save the whole world.

Sylvia is then sent to a psych ward and Billy is sent to stay with his father Steve, who he hasn't seen for a few years. Billy is convinced that Steve doesn't want him, especially when Steve introduces Billy to his girlfriend and daughter and Billy is rude to the daughter. But meanwhile, strange things are happening....people seem to be turning grey and developing into shimmering monsters or , if they don't, dying and nobody believes Billy when he tells people what he sees (A survival rule is "BE OBSERVANT") except his new friend Anwar and Steve's girlfriend's daughter Angharad. (Think : Walking dead/Zombie Apocalypse)
What follows then is a race for survival across England with Billy using various methods that Sylvia taught him to try and reach the bunker ( tower) where she has escaped the psych ward and has headed to - -this bits a bit rushed and the ending where they learn how to defeat the Greys (zombies) came about very quickly but it is a kid's book about saving the world in a week so I shouldn't be too picky, should I?
