7th Period ACL Characters: Silver by Chris Wooding

Silver by Chris Wooding
Hi class!
I am currently reading Silver by Chris Wooding, a fast pace and exciting book about survival. Mortingham Boarding Academy is a school secluded from the outer world by dense forests and a substantial amount of land, making it impossible for escape when an unnerving infection begins to spread across campus. The infection causes people to become zombie-like metallic creatures, spread by being injured by someone else infected. Within an hour, more than half of the school becomes infected, and a group of kids blockade themselves in a classroom, with no plan of escape and the fear of what lie on the other side of the wall. 

 

A character that I noticed change in the story was Erika, having become more self dependent and respectable in light of recent events. She wills herself to change to benefit others, being one of the oldest barricaded in the classroom, the younger children look up to her and she goes from little miss popular to a strong and brave leader.
Thanks for reading,
Keona K.

    This sounds like a really good book! Where does the infection come from and does anyone have a cure to stop this disease?

    Revealed halfway through the book, the infection comes from a nearby science lab, originally supposed to be a weapon until they lost control of it.
