Gone by Michael Grant

What would you do if all the people 15 years and older disappeared into thin air as well as people started developing strange powers, well that is what this book is about.  The book Gone by Michael Grant is a sci-fi book, the main characters in this book are Sam Temple, Caine Soren, Astrid Ellison, Diana Ladris, and Peter (Little Pete) Ellison. This book takes place at Perdido beach, California. In this book during school all of the teachers and kids 15 and older suddenly disappear into thin air. At first most of the kids just think its a joke and don't take it seriously. Then kids start realizing that everyone 15 years and older in the town has dissapeared.As well there is a blue wall around the town that burns to the touch and traps everyone in the town. Then while everyone is in disbelief things start going bad when a fire starts. Sam the main character goes in the house on fire to save a girl but when he gets there the girl starts shooting fire out of her hands at Sam. Sam can't save the girl but realises that something weird is going on and he can make light come out of his hands. What is going on in perdido beach? Read the book and find out.

           I personally love this book and the five other books in the series.  I love this book because the author is able to tell all of the struggles of kids being left alone to fend for them self.  This book is also really good at making everything that happens realistic and run.  This book is also full of action, the book will have lots of little problems that occur while leading up to the big action of the book. The book has a timer at the top of each chapter which count's down to the big conflict.  I recommend this book to any who has read the Monument 14 series, I am number four series, or anyone who likes sci-fi books.
