Fear by Michael Grant
4.0
This series is going towards mystery thriller as the children mysteriously cut-off and domed part of San Francisco known as the FAYZ, after surviving all the adults being Gone, countering the Hunger wit minimal resources, a cacophony of Lies to safeguard interest of there own and community so that things don't turn into chaos, and then an actual Plague, that can wipe out the FAYZ community if they conquered them, the original Perdido Beach community has finally splintered! One has gone AWOL, one rules his own kingdom, one wants to be a FAYZ millionaire, and there's the first FAYZ baby on the way. Meanwhile our main hero is bored with the good life on the freshwater lake, but not for long, as tendrils of darkness start appearing on the barrier - they gets a bit worried, because other than fear itself, the only thing they truly fears, is the dark!
This is the new age of young adult long-form story telling, a huge diverse, enigmatic and fully released cast of kids with hardly a trope in sight. The queen, is the 13 year old pig-tailed red-headed girl Breanna, 'The Breeze', what a great character. Even the ' villians ' are thoroughly multi-dimensional. As ever the most important point about this series, is that Michael Grant never lets readers, or the cast themselves ever forget that they are children; oh, and he should give lessons on how to build climatic ending
