Synopsis

Stuck in the wilderness with a bunch of other juvenile delinquents on an “Inward Trek,” it doesn’t seem that things could get worse for seventeen-year-old Nick “Nero” Sole.But they do. Overnight, Nero’s counselors turn into flesh-eating maniacs and start chowing down on his fellow miscreants—like a monster movie come to life. As in any classic monster flick worth its salted popcorn, colossal carnage sends survivors rabbiting into the woods while the mindless horde of “infects” shambles, moans, and drools behind. These kids have seen the movies; they know the rules.Unfortunately, knowing the rules isn’t going to be enough. The Infects is a genre buster; yes, it’s a fast-paced gore fest, but it’s also an incisive commentary on the evil that lurks within each of us.

Sean Beaudoin is the author of three cutting-edge young adult novels, including You Killed Wesley Payne.

Also, it was ridiculously fun.” He lives in Seattle with his family.

My favorite part is Nick/Nero's family, especially his sister. I seriously......more
