The Gone series begins when every person over the age of 15 vanishes from the town of Perdido Beach, California, leaving the remaining kids trapped under an impenetrable dome. With no adults and dwindling supplies, the children must organize themselves while dealing with mutant creatures and teens who develop dangerous powers.
The original six-book series (Gone through Light) was published between 2008 and 2013. Grant later returned to the setting with a second trilogy (Monster, Villain, Hero) published from 2017 to 2019. The series is known for its dark tone and willingness to put young characters in genuinely dangerous situations.
