Michael Grant Gone

På hemsidan Lovereading4kids har du möjligheten att läsa en ny ungdomsbok av Michael Grant från 8 april. Bokens titel är Gone och handlar om ett land där alla vuxna över 15 försvinner. Var är de? Och vad som ska hända med barnen som snart fyller 15 år? Det låter spännande, eller hur?

"First some tremendously exciting news on a book described as ‘Lord of the Flies meets Heroes for the 21st century’ - Gone by Michael Grant. It has taken America by storm and is launching in the UK at the beginning of April. Here at Lovereading4kids we have a sneak preview, not this time in the form of an extract – the book is being kept under wraps until publication, but we do have a mouth-watering film trailer to share with you. However, what’s different is that from 8 April, 2 days after publication, you will be able to read the whole book free online here at Lovereading4kids! Why not suggest to any teenagers you know that they can be one of the first to discover what we believe is set to be a huge phenomenon over here."

Suddenly there are no adults, no answers and the world has no rules. only those under 15 are left behind and they must do all they can to survive. But everyone's idea of survival is different. For Sam and Astrid it's a race against time as they try to solve the questions that now dominate their lives... What is the mysterious wall that has encircled them and trapped everyone within? Why have some kids developed strange super-human powers? And what will happen when they turn 15 - will they disappear too?
