What this book is about
The sixth and concluding novel in Michael Grant's Gone series brings the dome around Perdido Beach to its conclusion. The series — in which all adults vanished and children were left to survive in a zone full of mutant powers and growing darkness — has been progressively darker, and the conclusion is among the most violent YA fiction published. Major characters die, the psychological cost of years in the FAYZ is reckoned with, and the resolution is earned but costly. Not for younger readers despite the YA classification.
