Gone
Publisher: Farshore
Fourteen year old Sam Templeton is having a completely normal day until his teacher disappears - poof! - in the middle of a class. He and his confused classmates soon discover that it isn't only their teacher who is gone - everyone over the age of fifteen has inexplicably disappeared from the small town of Perdido Beach, which has been isolated from the rest of the world by a mysterious forcefield.
So what happens now? Sam and his friends Quinn, Edilio and Astrid attempt to restore order to the rapidly developing chaos and to work out what is happening to their town. But then a convoy of cars from the out-of-town school, Coates Academy appears, led by the charismatic and sinister Caine who quickly seizes power.
Blending Lost with Lord of the Flies, this is a fast-paced, gripping, all-action novel that doesn't pull any punches. With spare dialogue and hard-hitting scenes of violence, it's certainly not for the faint-hearted, but there's no doubt that Gone delivers a powerfully exciting and engrossing read.

It's a book that you can't put down. The whole gone series are amazing with a very annoying cliff-hanger but that's good because it makes you want to read the next book which is even better than the first and more adventuress :-)

Excellent book. I have really enjoyed reading it and the rest of the series as well as Grant's other series-"BZRK". I am looking forward to more books!

A truly excellent read! This is an amazingly unique book and had me hooked from the 1st page. Grant describes everything with such clarity that there is no question in my head as to what is happening. This is a book which leaves you drooling for more! This book gives a whole new meaning to "chaos". I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves action or fantasy.
