In the blink of an eye all the adults disappear in a small town in southern California and no one knows why. First a car crash; a house up in flames; then a complete communication meltdown... Suddenly cut off from the outside world, those that are left are trapped, and there's no help on the way. They must do all they can to survive. Chaos rules the streets. Gangs begin to form. Sides are chosen - strong or weak. Cruel or humane. A new world order is rising, and, even scarier, some survivors have power - power that no one has ever seen before...

Interesting premise, it gives Lord of the Flies meets Under the Dome by Stephen King. Over all a pretty interesting read,  will most likely continue the series but after a break. I'm curious how the kids will continue life going forward and how they'll solve the problems they have coming their way.
