The tox has infected the students of Raxter Island. Quarantined until a cure can be found, Hetty and the rest of the surviving students carry on with their tasks (gun watch, boat crew, door guard, etc.). However, when Hetty's best friend Byatt gets taken to the infirmary for her most recent "flare up," Hetty takes matters into her own hands.

This survivor-esque read will keep you on your toes as you root for Hetty and the girls of Raxter's private school. Author, Rory Power, does a great job of setting the scene and the onslaught of "The Tox," while successfully maintaining an engaging, "forward focused" plot. Power also sets the readers up for a dramatic finish, leaving us hoping for a sequel.
