All of the sudden, the
world as you know it ends. Everyone over
14 simply vanishes, and you are left to fend for yourself. Who’s in charge and who enforces the
rules? In Gone by Grant, the kids
of a small California town are left to deal with the crisis of being locked in
an invisible bubble with no adults and limited resources. To make matters more interesting, some of the
children start developing mysterious powers. This is great story of good vs
evil and Darwinian logic of the strong will survive.
I was intrigued to find
out how the kids solved their problems, and mortified to see how the very best
and worst of humanity comes out in crisis.
This book reminds me of a cross between Under the Dome and
Lord of the Flies.
