Out Today: He's So Not Worth It: by Kieran Scott

 

 Ally Ryan, come on down to the Jersey Shore and forget your troubles!
Have you recently been humiliated in front of your friends and family at your former best friend's birthday party? Was your almost boyfriend partly responsible for that humiliation by withholding some vital information about where your estranged father is? Did you come home to find said estranged father sitting on your stoop?
If so, then it sounds like you could use a vacation! The Jersey Shore is the place to be. Your mother may be living with her boyfriend of only a few months, but at least the stunt Shannen pulled has put some of your friends back in your court. Even so, you're still angry and what better way to get over Jake than to blow off some steam with local guy, Cooper? People will hardly recognize your new attitude, but the old one wasn't getting you anywhere, so who cares!
Jake Graydon, an exciting opportunity is waiting for you in the service industry!
Are your grades so low your parents have grounded you for the summer? Did you the girl you really like unceremoniously leave you behind? Would you rather eat dirt than see your friends again? Then a job at the local coffee shop is just the ticket! Surprisingly, Ally's father is the new manager so you get to be reminded of her nearly every day. Maybe it's time to start flirting with your best friend's ex or even taking school a bit more seriously. Especially when you finally see Ally and she's hanging around with some loser and it's couldn't be more clear that she is over you.
Have a great summer!

Summary:In the blink of an eye.

Everyone disappears.

Gone.

Everyone except for the young. Teens. Middle schoolers. Toddlers. But not a single adult. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. Gone, too, are the phones, internet, and television. There is no way to get help.

Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents—unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers—that grow stronger by the day.

It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen and war is imminent.

The first in a breathtaking saga about teens battling each other and their darkest selves, gone is a page-turning thriller that will make you look at the world in a whole new way.

Review: Don't let the size of this book intimidate you into not reading it, although there are a lot of pages and it is a fairly big book, it is a quick and easy read. The font is rather large and the spacing is as well. Lots of the text is dialogue, and one worded dialogue at that. There were a few things I particularly liked about this book and a few that I did not like. I will start off with the things I did like. First, the book started right out. I didn't have to read 100 pages before the action got started, the adults vanished right away and that started off the chaos very quick, I don't like it when books take forever to get started, so this book made me happy in that regard. Another thing I liked were the characters, Sam, the main character is someone you would want to be around if something like this happened, he is just such a likable character and a great hero. The other characters are relatable and you know so much about each ones personality and like-ability without a drawn out description of each, it was just the way they all interacted in the book. You know straight off who you will like and who you won't. Now on to the things I didn't like. I'll start off with Quinn: a surfer dude, and Sam's best friend. Almost every sentence he spoke either ended or began with "Brah" it kind of drove me nuts. Next there is the fact that they are so young. The kids in the book are 14 and younger, I know this is a young adult book, but I don't think I've ever read one with them being so young, they're usually 16, 17, so it was kind of hard to get passed that. There was sort of an epic scene on a boat, and I wanted to get into it, but I couldn't because I didn't understand all the boat jargon. All in all it was an okay book, I'm not sure I'll continue on with the series, but it is a possibility.

3/5 stars. I liked it.
