Author: Michael Grant

Summary:
Gone. Everyone over the age of fifteen is gone without any warning. These
toddlers, teenagers and elementary kids are the only people left in the small town

placed around the area, enclosing everyone inside with no exit. Even that doesnt
seem so bad until teenagers begin developing powers unlike anything before.
Good face off evil in this fiction novel as these kids try to survive in a world turned
upside down.

Book of the Day

Title: Speak
Author: Laurie Halse Anderson
Genre: Young Adult Fiction
Summary:
To not be accepted, sometimes that is the hardest thing in life. To always want to
be included with the in crowd. To make a decision even though it is right,
ultimately you know it will change your life forever and not for the better. Melinda
lives the nightmare of being raped over and over and has no relief and suffers
something that was not her fault and relives it everyday. She sees him everyday
and in a way cannot escape him and what he did.

Reticent
Why are you reticent to share your

life you dont need to escape from.
