Chosen Twelve: The Gods of Spenser Island - (The Chosen Twelve) by James Breakwell (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

It's not enough to arrive - now they have to survive...

Delta is having a bad day. After the chaos of the Chosen Twelve crash-landing on Spenser Island, and Delta losing the love of her life, she just wants to hide from the world.

But this is impossible when eleven dumb kids all look up to her as their leader on this barren island that is now their home... and their immortality machine is broken. Despite all the creatures out there who could eat them, everyone is too busy going through puberty and making smoochy faces at each other to even consider survival.

Since no one else is even remotely qualified, Delta decides that if she's destined to be alone, she'll be the greatest leader there ever was. Even if that means killing the human race to get there...
