YA Sci-Fi about kids fighting off an alien invasion.
Bo is eleven and is escaping from captivity by the aliens. Lots of kids have been rounded up into warehouses and infected with a 'parasite' injected into their abdomen. The adults have been fitted with devices that render them zombie-like and living in some euphoric simulation. There is no help coming from any adult.
Bo runs through the dark city being chased by an alien blimp, and having gotten clear he's found by Violet, an older girl, who takes him to the abandoned theatre where a bunch of runaways, the Lost Boys, are hiding out.
Their fight the basic survival comes to a head when they capture one of the blimps, that turns out to be the alien itself, and in the ensuing chaos, Bo and Violet find themselves on the alien ship hovering overhead. They team up with another captive, Gloom, with whom the start forming a plan to retake the city from the aliens.
It turns out that the parasites in the kids are being tuned into powerful mind weapons to be used by the aliens to bring more ships to Earth.
With the help of Gloom, and fighting against the fear of betrayal of one of their own, they start putting the plan into action. There is a certain body count as some of the kids don't make it, and the stakes are raised as Bo goes for one last desperate rescue attempt.
