Search - Gone (Gone, Bk 1)

Wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this up. I originally bought it for my son, but of course I read it first. I found it a quick read - it kept my interest that's for sure. I just had to know what the heck was happening... which of course I still don't know!! I skimmed through the other reviews and found that there is to be a sequel - yay!

Adult reviewer here. I found this a captivating book. Very exciting. But it also has sadistic and creepy elements that might not be for everyone, particularly younger readers. (The Lord of the Flies with a paranormal edge.) Much is left unresolved for the sequel.....which I'll be reading.

My 11 year old daughter...

"No adults. Anyone 15 or over disappears. Everyone looks up to School Bus Sam Temple for help.
In 12 days Sam will disappear like everyone else, leaving them behind to fend for themselves from coyotes, bullies, kids from Coates Acadamy. Most of all Sam wants to get rid of the two most dangerous kids, Caine and Drake from Coates Acadamy. Will Sam find a way to NOT disappear? Will he defeat Caine and Drake for good?

AMAZING! I loved this book! The clearness, perfect pace, and the amazing characters made me NOT put down GONE! Anyone will enjoy the mysterious case of GONE. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series Hunger.

Put GONE on your to-read list!"
