The Lovereading comment:
A Lovereading4kids 'Great Read' you may have missed 2011 selection.
This is the fourth book (of five) in the mind-blowing Gone series. So far with Gone, Hunger, and Lies it's been a blood-pumping, white-knuckle ride of epic proportions. It's a world without adults and normal life has crashed and burned. When you hit 15 everything changes. It's a sci-fi thriller first and foremost but any reader who wants an intense all action thriller that races along and leaves you wanting more should get into the series immediately. Brilliantly plotted with characters you'll both love and hate. Lord of the Flies for the 'Heroes' generation is not far off the beat. To check out the whole series go to our Michael Grant page.
Warning: Contains scenes of cruelty and some violence.

In his fevered dreams, he continues his battle with the hidden evil that seeks to use his power to bring about anarchy and destruction.
Reviews
'... exciting, high-tension story told in a driving, torrential narrative that never lets up. This is great fiction. I love this book.' - Stephen King, bestselling author
. 'A tour-de-force that will leave readers dazed, disturbed, and utterly breathless
- Booklist
'If Stephen King had written Lord of the Flies, it might have been a little like this' -

About The Author
Michael Grant is the co-creator and coauthor of the series of books and publishing phenomenon Animorphs and the Everworld series. Michael has spent much of his life on the move. Raised in a military family, he attended ten schools in five states, as well as three schools in France. Even as an adult he kept moving, and in fact he became a writer in part because it was one of the few jobs that wouldn't tie him down. His fondest dream is to spend a year circumnavigating the globe and visiting every continent, including Antarctica. He lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with his wife, Katherine Applegate, and their two children, (Jake and Julia), and far too many pets.
