Review


This book was ok, however it was reeaallyy long, 23hrs in fact !!

 In that 23 hrs. we find out a few things, but nothing that couldn’t have been condensed into 12.

 Basically the premise is this:

 At school one day in his class Sam notices that his teacher just disappeared, also so did some of his friends in his class, all of the kids over 15!

 Other people start to notice and then it becomes clear that it is not just in his class that this had happened but all over the town, there are no adults and nobody over the age of 15.

 At first it is brilliant for them, no adults they can do what they like, eat what they want etc., however it then slowly dawns on them that this will also include their parents, and who will cook, clean etc. for them.

 Then after all of that they start to turn on each other, I mean someone has got to be in charge right?

 A lot of kids turn to Sam as he rescued the driver of a school bus one summer after he had a heart attack while driving.

Other kids don’t want Sam to be in charge and use their powers to get what they want…………….

What’s that ???

Oh yeah didn’t I mention that some of the kids after the ‘Phase’ developed super powers? Sorry about that !

So there you have it, kids alone, no adults, super powers, oh and talking animals!!

What could possibly go wrong?
