Lies




Lies by Michael Grant 
447 pages
The fourth book in the Gone series still has the group of under 15 year olds trapped inside the area they have come to call the FAYZ.  They have set up a council, headed by Astrid, girl genius, but the council hasn’t made much headway in changing anything.  Meanwhile, food and other supplies are running out, Zil and his Human Crew are still lobbying for elimination of “freaks”, as they call the kids who have gained special powers, and it looks like some of the kids who have died are coming back to life.  Also, a girl named Orsay is claiming to be able to enter the dreams of the adults outside the FAYZ and that the kids should all let go on their 15th birthday because that will send them outside the FAYZ back to their parents.  Sam is the one the kids are used to following, but Sam is feeling useless because Astrid and the rest of the council insist on having rules instead of letting him take care of some of the problems.  Can they pull together and fix some of the issues before everything is destroyed?  Definitely a series that should be read in order, this is a nice addition to the series and fans of the series will definitely enjoy it.  Teens that like fantasy or dystopian novels would probably like the series.
