This book is a lot like Lord of the Flies in that it explores what would happen if suddenly children lived in a world with no adults. In the small town of Perdido Beach, California, everyone over the age of 14 mysteriously disappears. Some of the kids begin to develop strange powers that are used for both good and evil. The book's hero, Sam Temple, along with his friends Astrid and Quinn must try to solve the mystery of their new world while fighting the powerful Caine. Things get interesting when the kids learn that as soon as they turn 15, they disappear, into no one knows where. I'd heard this book was really good, and I wasn't disappointed. It created suspense from the very first page which lasted until the end of the book and leaves you wanting more. Which thankfully you can get...in the forms of the two sequels in the series, Hunger, and Lies. Can't wait to read them.
