Gone
Suddenly there are no adults, no answers. What would you do? In the blink of an eye, the world changes. The adults vanish without a trace, and those left must do all they can to survive.
But everyone's idea of survival is different. Some look after themselves, some look after others, and some will do anything for power, even kill.
For Sam and Astrid, it is a race against time as they try to solve the questions that now dominate their lives. What is the mysterious wall that has encircled the town of Perdido Beach and trapped everyone within? Why have some kids developed strange powers? And can they defeat Caine and his gang of bullies before they turn fifteen and disappear too?
It isn't until the world collapses around you that you find out what kind of person you really are. When life as you know it ends at 15, everything changes.

In the blink of an eye, everyone disappears. GONE. Except for the young: teens, middle schoolers, toddlers remain, but not one single adult. No teachers, cops, doctors or parents. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no internet and 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 because on your fifteenth birthday, you disappear just like everyone else...
