In this “exciting, unpredictable and unsettling” sci-fi thriller, students struggle to survive a virus that turns humans into murderous machines (Publishers Weekly). 
 
Paul is the new kid at Mortingham Boarding Academy, and he has a dark secret. Caitlyn admires Paul from afar and resents that he only has eyes for Erika. Erika thinks that she and Caitlyn are best friends, but she’s wrong. Adam is a bully with a major chip on his shoulder. Mark is outgrowing his old friends but doesn’t know how to make new ones. 
 
In a few short hours, none of this will matter. Without warning, a horrifying infection will spread across the school grounds, and a group of students with little in common will find themselves barricaded in a classroom, fighting for their lives. Some will live. Some will die. And then it will get even worse. 
 
Fast-paced and frightening, Silver is a tale set on the fringes of science and horror—a story about the struggle to survive in the face of impossible odds. 
 
“Wooding has morphed a traditional English boarding-school story into a horror survival story that would make William Golding and Gary Paulsen envious.” —Booklist
