The Gone series by Michael Grant is thrilling dystopian fiction for young adults.
Described by the publisher as “Lord of the Flies for the 21st Century”, these terrifying and gripping books are set in a dystopian reality where everyone aged 15 or older suddenly disappears. There’s no help for those who remain, gangs form and then some start to develop powers… welcome to the FAYZ.
Fans are desperate for a Gone TV series or movie but as yet nothing has been confirmed, however you can continue the adventures with The Monster Series by Michael Grant, set four years after the events of the Gone book series.
We recommend the books for readers 13+ due to some violent scenes, they are perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and Maze Runner. You’ll need to read the books in order, starting with book one Gone.
