Gone Series

Okay, so I've decided to make my first review on one of the coolest series EVER!!!! So it is a series, but so far there is only two books out. The first is called Gone the second is Hunger by Michael Grant. The first book, Gone, starts out with all people over the age of 15 suddenly disappearing, poof, bam, one second there next second gone. Kids left on their own, no adults, no older siblings, no one.
Sam Temple and his friends are left to fend for themselves while chaos spreads and bullies rule. Things get even worse when kids from Coates Academy, a school for juvenile delinquents, try to take over. Kids are scared and unsure of what to do.
Things get even worse as kids start to develop powers, including Sam, and townies start to divide between freaks(those with powers) and normals. Animals mutate and become fearsome enemies. As all this happens kids start to realize that the kids from Coates, who seemed so promising when they came, are now becoming dictators and townies are getting hurt as bullies rage and beat on those who are 'breaking the law'.
And then to make everything worse kids who reach their 15th birthday poof and are gone, where , no one knows.
Everyone looks to Sam for help, and suddenly Sam goes from plain old surf boy to leader and hero. It's up to Sam to save the town and his friends, but with his 15th birthday quickly approaching can he help the ones he loves before he poofs?
I really do love this series, and the next book Hunger is just as good, if not better. You'll love this series, but I think it is meant for teens, but read it any way.
