One day all adults disappear and only children and teenagers remain, with no phones or internet to call for help. Hunger, gangs, and a sinister being dominate the new world. The young develop powers such as telekinesis or teleportation, while the disappearance on a birthday turns survival into a war.

Recommended for young readers and fans of dystopias and young adult thrillers.
Michael Grant was an English classicist, Professor of Humanity at the University of Edinburgh, numismatist, and author of numerous books on ancient history. His 1956 translation of Tacitus's Annals of Imperial Rome remains a standard of the work. Having studied and held a number of academic posts in the United Kingdom and the Middle East, he retired early to write full-time. He once described himself as "one of the very few freelancers in the field of ancient history: a rare phenomenon". As a populariser, his hallmarks were his prolific output and his unwillingness to oversimplify or talk down to his readership. He published over 70 works.
