By holding Sam hostage, they can demand anything-food, alcohol, condoms, whatever. Until Gates, the thrill-seeking leader of the new Saints gang, turns the tables by discovering that the adults are parents of the loathed Sam. Yes, it’s a bit of a head fake, but it’s a reset with a significant tweak: two adults are now lowering rationed supplies into the quad. The sequel picks up moments later, with infected teens streaming out of the newly breached high school until a school bus smashes into the opening, once again walling them in. But as enjoyable as were Emmy Laybourne’s Monument 14 and Dayna Lorentz’s No Safety in Numbers, it was Thomas’ Quarantine: The Loners that blew the doors off the joint with a dirty bomb of sex and violence. *Starred Review* The craziest thing about 2012’s rash of teens-in-quarantine books was that all of them were good.
