Silver by Chris Wooding

Stuck at boarding school, Paul is trying desperately to make the best of a bad situation.  Things begin to change when a silver beetle is found in the woods.  What the students and teachers think is a new species, looks remarkably like a tiny robot.  Suddenly a strange new infection spreads across the students and teachers….and the fight to survive becomes surreal.

Content Notes:

This book has a zombie type infection spread through the students and staff.  For this reason, the book would be rated PG-13 if made into a movie.

Teacher Notes:

This book is appropriate for all middle school students.
