Gone by Michael Grant

This is book one in the series and is popular with my high school students.  Set in a small isolated town, one minute life is normal and the next all adults are gone. Some of the teens have unique talents and abilities that manifest themselves after the event.  Chaos starts to ensue and a division between the kids become more pronounced.  The bullies start controlling the town.  The big question is what happened to all the adults?  Who's going to take care of the little ones?  And is this connected to the nuclear reactor down the road?  Cut off from the main world by a strange force field, that cuts off all communications and traps the young from setting off beyond, the mystery drives the story on.  I look forward to reading the next book in the series.  I would say for high school students.
