Michael Grant’s Gone series is worth flipping past the terrifying kids. Unfortunately, this site is younger than intended, so I never did get a chance to give my thoughts on the novel described as “if Stephen King wrote Lord of the Flies”. Yeah, that’s about right. I like to call it “crazy, wild fun!” So this is a review of Hunger, with thoughts on Gone intermingled.
You can thank me later.
Gone is about a small beach town in California that is suddenly cut off from the outside world. Every person over the age of 15 have disappeared in one mass exodus of the supernatural kind. Not only are these young kids left alone, but some start developing superpowers while battling with other kids for supremacy over the town. Picking up where Gone left off, Hunger does not disappoint.
