You know when you come across a book and you wonder why it hasn't been published yet? This is totally one of them. The author has such a natural way with words. It's so effortless, and I believe everything that happens.
Evie, the main character, is just a normal teenage girl who is at school one day when everybody 16 and over falls asleep, out of the blue. It's some sort of epidemic worldwide, and nobody has a clue why it's happened. Evie is now responsible for her younger brother, and sets off to rescue her parents from wherever they've fallen asleep.
The story itself is really thought provoking. What would happen in a world where there are no adults? How would everybody cope? What would disappear first? The things we take for granted like the internet and phone lines slowly start to cut out, and the world becomes desperate.
So much happens in this first book and it's hard to believe it all takes place over the space of a week. With a rescued kid under her wing, an annoying class mate, and two new dogs, she has a lot to contend with. I loved reading this book, and now that I've seen there's a part 2, I'm going to be reading that one next. It's on amazon at just 99p, so it's an absolute bargain. I'd tell everybody to read it.
