GONE - Michael Grant

~ Trade Paperback

In the blink of an eye all the adults disappear from a small town in southern California and no one knows why.  Cut off from the outside world, those that are left are trapped, and there doesn't seem to be any help on the way.  Sam Temple and his friends must do all they can to survive, but chaos rules the streets. gangs begin to form, sides are being chosen, and then some of the survivors begin to develop powers . . . 

The first in a breathtaking saga about teens battling each other and their darkest selves, Gone is a pulse-pounding, harrowing, and utterly terrifying thriller described as Lord of the Flies for the twenty-first century that is sure to delight fans of Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games, Veronica Roth's Divergent, and/or James Dashner's The Maze Runner. 

"A potent mix of action and thoughtfulness that will leave readers utterly breathless." -- Booklist
