Gone by Michael Grant

In the blink of an eye, everyone fifteen and older disappears. No explanation. No warning. Just… gone.

In the small town of Perdido Beach, children and teenagers are left to survive on their own. No adults. No help. Cut off from the outside world by a mysterious, impenetrable barrier. As panic sets in, chaos erupts — food runs low, power fails, and strange mutations begin to appear. Some of the kids discover new and dangerous abilities, while others turn violent in the struggle for control.

As sides form and leaders rise, Sam Temple must face not only the collapse of order but also the dark power growing within the FAYZ — and within himself.
