Bookroo's summary

Naomi's family trip to Ireland turns into a nightmare when a virus strikes, incapacitating adults over twenty-one. Stranded and isolated, Naomi and her friends must navigate a world without guidance. As chaos reigns, they face the ultimate test of survival. Will they find a way to endure until a cure is discovered, or will the virus claim more than just their freedom? In this dystopian thriller, the young must rise to the challenge in a world turned upside down.

From the publisher

Naomi doesn’t expect anything unusual from her annual family trip to visit her grandparents in Ireland. What she finds is a country hit by an unexpected virus that rapidly infects the majority of the Irish population over the age of twenty-one, turning its victims aggravated, blank or violent. Naomi and her friends must survive on their own, without lucid adults, cut off from the rest of the world, until a cure is found.
