About the Author

MICHAEL GRANT
has spent much of his life on the move. Raised in a military family, he attended ten schools in five states, as well as three schools in France. Even as an adult he kept moving, and in fact he became a writer in part because it was one of the few jobs that wouldn’t tie him down. His fondest dream is to spend a year circumnavigating the globe and visiting every continent. Yes, even Antarctica. He lives in Southern California with his wife, Katherine Applegate, and their two children.

PRAISE
FOR
GONE
by Michael Grant

“This intense, marvelously plotted, paced, and characterized story will immediately garner comparisons to
Lord of the Flies
, or even the long-playing world shifts of Stephen King, with just a dash of
X-Men
for good measure. A potent mix of action and thoughtfulness—centered around good and evil, courage and cowardice—renders this a tour de force that will leave readers dazed, disturbed, and utterly breathless.”

Booklist
(starred review)

“If Stephen King had written
Lord of the Flies
, it might have been a little like this novel.”

(starred review)

“Gripping and gritty.”

School Library Journal

“Part
Kid Nation
and part
Left Behind
, with just a dash of Cain and Abel, the story is most impressive for its extraordinarily skillful pacing, which leaves the reader constantly on the verge of another discovery (none of which disappoint).”
