Hunger
Gone series book two
Publisher: Farshore
The grown-ups still haven't returned and for the kids stranded in the FAYZ, simply surviving is desperately hard. Sam Temple is 'in charge' but with food supplies dwindling and tempers rising, he's feeling the pressure.
Talking coyotes and killer worms aren't his worst problems; kids are developing strange powers, provoking a rift between 'freaks' and 'normals'; Lana the healer has disappeared and Sam's arch-rival, Caine, has captured the power plant.
And lurking in an abandoned mineshaft is a nameless presence that's getting inside people's heads...
Second in a series, this is a gripping, horrifyingly recognisable dystopian vision of a society re-inventing itself but with only the shakiest of rules and founded on fast-dwindling resources.
Believeable characters, relentless action and spare, driven writing: it's addictive!

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 :-)

This book made me longing for more! Once again, Grant describes his characters and scenes in such clarity that leaves the reader in no doubt as to what is happening. A story of unwanted leadership and chaos, Michael Grant truly leaves us demanding for his next book. Grant delivers us an excellent page turner! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loved The Hunger Games, Mortal Instruments or just about anyone who loves action or fantasy.
