    Michael Grant, author of the Gone series, the Messenger of Fear series, the Magnificent Twelve series, and the Front Lines trilogy, has spent much of his life on the move. Raised in a military family, he attended ten schools in five states, as well as three schools in France. Even as an adult he kept moving, and in fact he became a writer in part because it was one of the few jobs that wouldn’t tie him down. His fondest dream is to spend a year circumnavigating the globe and visiting every continent. Yes, even Antarctica. He lives in California with his wife, Katherine Applegate, with whom he cowrote the wildly popular Animorphs series. You can visit him online at www.themichaelgrant.com and follow him on Twitter @MichaelGrantBks.

    It's been over a year since all the adults disappeared. Gone.

    In the time since everyperson over the age of fourteen disap-peared from the town of Perdido Beach, California, countless battles have been fought: battles against hunger and lies and plague, and epic battles of good against evil. And now, the gaiaphage has been reborn as Diana's malicious mutant daughter, Gaia. Gaia is endlessly hungry for destruction. She yearns to conquer her Nemesis, Little Pete, and then bend the entire world to her warped will. As long-standing enemies become allies, secrets are revealed and unexpected sacrifices are made. Will their attempts to save themselves and one another matter in the end, or will the kids of Perdido Beach perish in this final power struggle?

    Light, the sixth and final book in the New York Times bestselling Gone series by Michael Grant, creates a masterful, arresting conclusion to life in the FAYZ.

    Nearly a year after it all began but only two days after the world could see inside, life in the FAYZ continues on a downward spiral. Now that the dome is transparent, trying to communicate with parents and watching a jumbo television screen are distracting kids from their everyday obligations. Soon the threat of starvation grows equal to the fear of destruction by the monster child Gaia. Staying alive against the odds has never been easy, but with hope for an end in sight, the pressure intensifies. Everyone in the FAYZ knows survival is far from guaranteed, for anyone. As a series finale, this book is more than satisfying—it is epic. With the first chapter starting a countdown of just a little over three days, the tension of wondering how it will all end kicks in on the first page and does not let go. Horrific, tragic, and brilliantly kind moments alternate, keeping readers unsettled and desperate to know what happens next. Longtime fans should be prepared but will still feel the loss of characters they have come to know and love, or love to hate. The good news? Those lingering questions driving dedicated readers mad are truly answered, including how the protective dome was created and what elements brought the gaiaphage into existence. The only cautionary note is due to violence and sexual scenes, making this most appropriate for emotionally mature or older teens. This is a fabulous series from start to finish, particularly for the guys. Reviewer: Stacy Hayman
    Kirkus Reviews
    With the world outside the FAYZ in sight and stakes rising, characters take drastic actions for survival and redemption. As the barrier has become clear, the FAYZ kids gain an audience, creating anxiety about performance as they worry about how they will be perceived by the adults in the normal world. Kids now communicating with their parents and the media have renewed hope that the end of the FAYZ is near, and they act accordingly. Others deduce that Gaia is up to something big, the endgame, now that the gaiaphage has taken a human form. They restructure leadership so Sam and Caine can team up to try to stop Gaia before it's too late. Sure enough, Gaia can feel little Pete weakening without his physical form and plans to doom the human race once Pete fades enough for the barrier to fall. But first Gaia must prevent Pete from taking a physical form again by trying to slaughter his potential hosts--the FAYZ kids. However, Gaia must kill judiciously, as the powered kids' link to the gaiaphage is revealed and explained. The answers to the FAYZ mysteries sometimes come in less-than-graceful exposition, but dedicated series readers will be more concerned with satisfying their curiosity. Multiple chapters of aftermath wrap up the series better than an epilogue could. A bloody, action-packed reward for the series' loyal fans. (Science fiction. 14 & up)
    ALA Booklist
    The Gone books have been one of the most dependable YA series in recent history. Readers dying for this series ender will be rewarded by Grant’s characteristic nonstop action. He keeps readers where he’s always had them—on the edge of their seats—until the very end.
