Gone

By: Michael Grant
Age Recommendation: Young Adult
Rating: 5 out of 5

      Everyone over the age of fourteen is gone in the blink of an eye.  Nobody knows where they are or how they got there.  There are no adults so bullies have all the power.  With an opaque barrier surrounding them they have no communications with the rest of the world.  Both animals and teens are developing mutations or powers, that are deadly, and everyone knows a war is going to take place in the near future.
     I would rate this book a five out of five, because it is shocking and a page turner.  This book had a well thought out plot and an ending that is breathtaking.
