Gone by Michael Grant

Suddenly there are no adults, no answers. What would you do?

In the blink of an eye, the world changes. The adults vanish without a trace, and those left must do all they can to survive.

But everyone's idea of survival is different.
Some look after themselves, some look after others, and some will do anything for power... Even kill.

Rowan the Strange by Julie Hearn

During the Second World War, thirteen-year-old Rowan is sent to a hospital to be treated for schizophrenia.

Rowan knows he is strange. But dangerous? He didn't mean to scare his sister. In his right mind, he wouldn't hurt a fly. But there's a place he can go where they say they can fix his mind...

Beyond the bars on the window, England is at war. Behind them, Rowan's own battle is only just beginning.
