(4) YA After all the adults vanish, kids under fourteen try to make do, taking care of themselves and the babies in a California town gone Lord of the Flies. The story's compelling setup is marred by some cardboard characters and clumsily incorporated elements. Still, many readers will be readily sucked into the dramas of this child-ruled survivalist society.
