Gone - Michael Grant

Descriere

From the co-creator of the bestselling Animorphs comes a gripping new series in which everyone disappears in an flash on the day they turn 15. It's a terrifying new world, and time is running out. n nThe first in New York Times bestselling author Michael Grant's breathtaking dystopian sci-fi saga, Gone is a page-turning thriller that invokes the classic The Lord of the Flies along with the horror of Stephen King.n nIn the blink of an eye, everyone disappears. Gone. Except for the young. There are teens, but not one single adult. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no internet, no television. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened.n nHunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents--unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers--that grow stronger by the day.n nIt's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen, a fight is shaping up. Townies against rich kids. Bullies against the weak. Powerful against powerless. And time is running out: on your birthday, you disappear just like everyone else. . . .n nA potent mix of action and thoughtfulness--centered around good and evil, courage and cowardice--renders this a tour de force that will leave readers dazed, disturbed, and utterly breathless. --ALA Booklist (starred review)n nRead the entire series: n n- Gone n- Hunger n- Lies n- Plague n- Fear n- Light n- Monster n- Villain n- Hero
