Gone by Michael Grant

5.0

Michael Grant's Gone is not your typical post-apocalypse novel. He creates a world where adults have vanished, leaving the youth to rise up and survive. Along with the normal fear, struggle, and drastically changed world, there are super-natural powers, eerie barriers, and animal mutations, as well as, an underlying evil. Grant skillfully weaves these themes and his characters into a successful and thrilling plot. There is no doubt that readers will be rooting for the good kids to prevail while jumping out of their socks during frightening parts. Since there are many scenes that would be better handled by a maturer audiences, this book is best suited for the older side of Young Adults.
