Gone By Michael Grant: An Analysis

Sam, things are going to get worse. Right now everyone’s kind of in a state of shock. But they haven’t even realized how scared they should be. Sooner or later the food supply runs out. Sooner or later the power plant fails. When we’re sitting in the dark, hungry, despairing, who’s going to be in charge?
In the book Gone by Michael Grant, the students of Perdido Beach are at school and everything is going normally, until suddenly, Sam’s teacher disappears. All of the students congregate in the hallways and come to the conclusion that everyone over the age of fifteen has disappeared.
