Well, this week, I'm going to do two posts.
The first one is about 'Gone'. This is really from my other website that didn't really work, skimorread.wetpaint.com
When I stumbled across Gone, I thought it looked pretty good, and, I was right. Gone is a complex doomsday situation. All of the adults (and kids at or above 15) in the town of Peridido Beach, California, disappear. This leaves all of the other kids behind. Of course, they go ballistic, and some try to take over the area, now called the FAYZ (Fallout Alley Youth Zone).
Soon, we find kids are forming powers, and the war begins between the 'Coates Kids', the bullies, and the few who still are sane and have decency in them.
The story is narrative, and is mostly centered around Sam Temple (the hero, 14), Astrid Ellison (the genius, 14), and Quinn Gaither (Sam's best friend, 14).
I'd suggest this book to anyone looking to find a nice series to be sucked into. :-)
