GONE

• The GONE series is ranking top five on my list of best YA novels. Imagine my shock when Michael Grant, the author of over a hundred books and the sole author of GONE said, “Yes” to speaking with us on the his experiences and journey to creating the books.

• Michael Grant is an American author of over 160 books, though most he co-authored with his wife, Katherine Applegate. They created the Animorphs, the Everworld series and the Making Out series. Grant is the sole author of the Gone series, the BZRK series, the Messenger of Fear series, and the Front Lines trilogy.

• On this episode, we discuss The Gone Series. When the adults suddenly disappear, kids under the age of fifteen are left to fend for themselves. That would be terrifying enough, but then, they discover that some of them had mutated due to exposure to some kind of radiation. Now there are kids running around with telekinesis, super strength, laser beams, super speed and literal green fingers that sprout vegetation from the soil. Things might not be so bad without the adults, at least they thought until they learn that they weren’t the only living species that mutated. There are talking coyotes and mutated diseases. Who will be in charge? Who will stop little kids from killing each other? More importantly, what happens after you turn fifteen?
