Happy second day of summer vacation! Wasn't the weather (in NJ) gorgeous yesterday? Nice weather should continue today, so get outside and enjoy it. I read for a few hours on my deck in the shade and it was wonderful. The weather should hold for the rise of the Strawberry Moon tonight. It's the last Supermoon of 2021 according to space.com.
#tbt features Gone by Michael Grant. Gone is book one of the science fiction series of the same name. It's a hefty book, weighing in at nearly 600 pages, but it's a page-turner. Sam is sitting in school one day, listening to his teacher drone on when, poof, he's gone. His teacher literally disappeared as did everyone over the age of fourteen in the school. Turns out, everyone over fourteen throughout the town of Perdido did as well, leaving behind a bunch of bewildered children. Sam and his friends attempt to make a plan for survival while looking for ways to escape. Turns out, there's a force field surrounding the area and no way of communicating beyond it. Oh, and some of the survivors find they now possess strange powers, such as telekinesis. And then there are the strange animal mutations to deal with.
There are nine books in the series. Gone was published in June of 2008 and was followed by Hunger in 2009.
