Oh, like I said, I highly reccomend them. The Gone series might be pretty heavy reading for someone younger or something(my reading level is High School, and I'm only 13 XD), so I'm just saying. It could be scary for younger kids too.
It's basically when every single adult in a large section of California dissappears. Gone. The children in the twon of Perdido Beach(the town where the 'poof' happened) band together, and soon some aare developing powerful powers. It's freaks against the humans. Starvation is here. The food is gone. Blah, blah, blah. I would give you the Wikipedia link, but It's basically horrible. Really. Bad.
I mean really bad. It's, like, basically spoiling the entire thing! D:< I want to make an account now and post a piece of my mind. The "spolier" is horribly grammarfied(lol), and, and, and....GRAGH!
