Melvin Burgess took the YA circuit by storm with his critically acclaimed work Smack. An unfiltered look at teen life, The Hit follows disaffected Manchester youth Adam and his immediate circle of friends. Having lost all hope for the future, Adam takes a hot new drug promising the most amazing week of his life. But the drug also comes with a devastating side effect: certain death. (Fiction/Ages 13 and up) “An exciting, dark story of sex, drugs and revolution that is sure to grip readers.”—School Library Journal WASTED A NEW DRUG IS ON THE STREET. Everyone’s buzzing about it. Take the hit. Live the most intense week of your life. Then die. It’s the ultimate high at the ultimate price. Adam thinks it over. He’s poor, and doesn’t see that changing. Lizzie, his girlfriend, can’t make up her mind about sleeping with him, so he can’t get laid. His brother Jess is missing. And Manchester is in chaos, with the Zealots, a group of homegrown terrorists, battling to bring down the corrupt capitalist regime. Wouldn’t one mind-blowing week be better than this endless misery? After Adam downs one of the Death pills, he’s about to find out.
