GONE -- Review by MaKayla Quinn

Gone

by Michael Grant
The day was November 10, the time 8:10. At that exact moment, everyone age fifteen and over suddenly disappears. No warning, no sound. Just gone. Kids rule the area, violence is enforced and it's now war between the kids in Perdido Beach vs. the kids of Coates Academy, the private school for troubled kids. For all fourteen-year-olds, time is running out, because when you turn fifteen, you poof. Which side will overcome the other? Is there a way to beat the poof? And what's with these kids from Coates?

Gone is a thrilling sci-fi novel that makes one think, "What would really happen if kids ruled the world?" Michael Grant really did write a stunning book filled with twists and turns. The plot twist makes this a a definite must read (*cough* read it! *cough*). Personally, I would recommend this book to anyone who would actually read it. The plot is straightforward and you get the story from other people's view point, not just the main character.


All-in-all, I give this book a 5/5 stars for a good read.

looks like a pretty cool. kind of brings you back to when you were little and you wanted your friends and yourself ruling the world.

I agree with this review because it explained the book enough so you don't know what happened but enough to make the book sound interesting.
