Your typical small South Californian community, jocks, mean-girls, surfers, nerds, Latinos... and bullies... just plain average, that is until one day, instantaneously every single adult disappears! Did I say every single adult? Every single person aged 15 or older! I was then taken on a cray cray journey akin to Lord of the Flies on a mister of single malt whiskey, acid and Ecstasy! Gone!

There I was minding my own business, when I picked up this book in a thrift store because the plain, but foreboding cover, and the blurb - It's a world without adults, and normal has crashed and burned. A book that completely lived up to its own hype. Plus there are, believable interpretations of children's behaviour in highly traumatic instances; there are real heroes (anti-hero-dom has become to much of a trope for me); it has thought provoking well rounded protagonists; it has compelling fantasy and sci-fi mysteries; there's a fleshed out supporting cast; and overall it has a highly detailed and well crafted series mythology that has me already searching on eBay for where I can get the entire series on the cheap! 9 out of 12. I keep hearing about how good some Young Adult work, but only know have I truly found some of it!
