"In the blink of an eye. Everyone disappears. GONE. Except for the young. Teens. Middle schoolers. Toddlers. But not one single adult. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. 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.
Hunger 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.
It'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..."
This was quite an adventure of a novel. Things quickly go from normal to weird, and from weird to supernatural. It reminded me a lot of Lord of the Flies, but with its own twist. There are some slightly disturbing parts in this story, so reader beware. But other than that, this was a superb story that kept me wanting to read more. And at around 600 pages, it's quite a long story. But Michael Grant keeps it from ever getting stale or boring with all the new twists the story takes. And there are many. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat. I'm really excited for the next book, Hunger, which is already out. 4 stars.
