Silver by Chris Wooding, 313 pages

“The final exam is survival.  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.”  This was a totally creepy science fiction horror story for teens that I would highly recommend.  Once I got started I didn’t want to put it down.
