Hunger by Michael Grant

I just started the second book in the Gone series. I am so fascinated by this series! I want to find out what the darkness is and where the adults and older teens have gone. This book starts with the death of EZ, a sixth grader who wants to go with Sam to investigate a cabbage field. Mutant territorial worms get a hold of him and... .I think I'll let you read about it! Sam is devastated by this turn of events. And on top of this, food is getting scarce. There are four books in this series, so hunger is not the end of them! Stay tuned!!
