Gone cover

In Gone, children in a small town must survive after all adults disappear, leading to chaos and the emergence of unexpected powers.

In Gone, a small town in Southern California is suddenly plunged into chaos when all the adults mysteriously vanish. The children are left to fend for themselves in a world where survival becomes the ultimate challenge. As they grapple with their new reality, friendships are tested, and the struggle for power begins to take shape. Sam Temple, one of the key characters, finds himself at the forefront of this upheaval, leading a group of survivors as they navigate the dangers of their new existence.

As the days pass, the situation escalates. Gangs form, alliances are made, and the once peaceful town descends into a battleground of morality and survival. The absence of adults creates a vacuum where the rules of society no longer apply, forcing the children to confront their own values and the choices they must make. In the midst of this chaos, some of the kids begin to develop extraordinary powers, adding a new layer of complexity to their struggle for dominance and safety.

Gone is not just a tale of survival; it explores themes of leadership, loyalty, and the essence of humanity under duress. The gripping narrative captivates readers, drawing them into a world that is both thrilling and thought-provoking. With its rich character development and moral dilemmas, this book stands as a modern classic in the young adult dystopian genre, appealing to fans of similar series like The Hunger Games and Divergent.
