Gone by Michael GrantRead about another entry on the list.
Everyone over the age of 15 suddenly disappears. No trace, no explanation. The children that remain are left to rebuild society and figure out just what happened to all the adults.
Gone is not strictly-dystopian fiction and it lacks a female protagonist like Katniss, but the series is so much fun and it moves like a film – not a bad thing for people who struggle to finish a book. Gone is guaranteed to tear anyone away from their PlayStation or Xbox. Yes, even you.
