Trying to remember the name of a young adult book where there is a community of just kids and no adults?

There was a book I read in middle school I believe about a community where there were no adults and just kids and it was the story of how they were able to survive by themselves and create the leadership and rules for everyone to live by but I cannot remember the name of the book or author.

'the girl who owned a city'by OT Nelson
A killing virus has swept the earth, sparing only children through the age of twelve. There is chaos everywhere, even in formely prosperous mid-America. Gangs and fierce armies of children begin to form almost immediately. It would be the same for the children on Grand Avenue but for Lisa, a yen-year-old girl who becomes their leader. Because of Lisa, they have food, even toys, in abundance. And now they can protect themselves from the fierce gangs that roam the neighborhoods. But for how long? Then Lisa conceives the idea of a fortress, a city in which the children could live safely and happily always, and she intends to lead them there.
' lord of the flies'
or maybe ' fire-us'
a series of post-apocalyptic young adult fiction by Jennifer Armstrong and Nancy Butcher. The series begins in 2007, five years after a plague of unknown origin has killed the vast majority of the human population. The plot concerns the family, a group of genetically unrelated orphan children living in the small fictional town of Lazarus, Florida.

The older children, now approaching adolescence, attempt to emulate the behavior of the "first families" which they belonged to before the plague
