Gone by Michael Grant

Today I am going to review “Gone” by Michael Grant.

I am a big fan of the Gone series and a while back I had read almost every book in the series apart from the first one “Gone”. Crazy right? But recently I have managed to pick it up and read it so that it was I shall be reviewing today.

The series starts when an unexplained event causes everyone over the age of 15 to vanish and a  20 mile diameter dome is formed, centred around the local nuclear power plant. 
All of the kids inside have to struggle to stay alive in a place where there are no longer any rules telling them what to do. This results mostly in chaos. Additionally, children have started developing mutant powers...

The books centre around Sam Temple and his allies trying to survive in this strange new world and battle for control of their neighbourhood, which they call the Fallout Alley Youth Zone (FAYZ) from those who wish to dominate it whilst protecting the innocent inhabitants.

This book makes you think what it would be like to live in a world with adults or rules and what you would do to protect people. 

This book contains mature themes, violence, scenes of cruelty and bad language, so is not suitable for readers under the age of 12.
