Imagine that everyone above the age of 15 has disappeared, you're stuck in a 20-mile diameter dome that hurts at the touch and just to top it off kids have started to get strange powers like teleportation and the ability to shoot burning light out of their hands. Not very normal, is it? But in the FAYZ (The dome they are trapped in) normal is out, and out-of-this-world crazy is in.

The star of the show is Sam Temple, a 14-year-old kid who likes to surf and has developed the power to create light. His power ranges from creating balls of light to melting people's arms off.

The story starts in the small town of Perdido Beach when Sam's teacher disappears and he and his three friends (Quinn, Edilio and Astrid) realise everyone over the age 15 has gone. They leave town where the bullies are in power and go searching for Astrid's autistic little brother Pete and eventually find him at the nuclear power plant where Astrid's dad works. When they return four cars arrive and the kids from the Coates Academy (a special school for misfits) get out. The Coates kids are called Caine Soren, Diana Ladris, Drake Merwin and Computer Jack. Caine is their leader and says he wants to work together with the bullies (Orc, Howard and a bunch of others) and anyone else to replace the anarchy with a new society. But soon tempers get frayed and Sam and his friends turn against Caine and a new conflict begins between them.

I'm not going to tell the whole story because that would ruin it, but this book is so gripping once you start reading you can't stop. It's an edge of your seat action-thriller jam-packed with loads of excitement.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes action and adventure or just loves a good read.
