One of my fondest memories as a child was going to our town library. … My sisters and I would lug home as many books as we could carry. … What beauty on those pages – wondrous illustrations, astonishing journeys, laugh-out-loud antics. Stories are food for the soul, and my mother fed us well on library books.

Fear
Age Range:
Teens 14 yrs +
Summary: It's been one year since all the adults disappeared. Gone. Despite the hunger and the lies, even despite the plague, the kids of Perdido Beach are determined to survive. Creeping into the tenuous new world they've built, though, is perhaps the worst incarnation yet of the enemy known as the Darkness: fear. Within the FAYZ, life breaks down while the Darkness takes over, literallyâ#128;#148;turning the dome-world of the FAYZ entirely black. In darkness, the worst fears of all emerge, and the cruelest of intentions are carried out. But even in their darkest moments, the inhabitants of the FAYZ maintain a will to survive and a desire to take care of the others in their ravaged band that endures, no matter what the cost. Fear, Michael Grant's fifth book in the bestselling dystopian Gone series, will thrill readers . . . even as it terrifies them.
