Teen Boys
- The Gone series by Michael Grant
If you’ve ever wondered what a society without ‘adults’ would be like, this is the series for you! In a swift turn of events, the oldest people on the planet are teens; there’s no cell reception, no internet, and no television. But the oddities don’t end there – things are changing, including the remaining youth. Strange powers are emerging in everyone, and they’re growing stronger every day. Be careful though: as soon as you turn fifteen, you’ll disappear as well!
- The Eye of Minds by James Dashner
Gaming has taken on a whole new level in this novel by Dashner. Complete brain and body immersion into gaming and virtual reality can, unfortunately, be addictive. Play by the rules, or use hacking skills… and the rules fall away. Rumor has it one gamer has taken hostages, and Michael may be the only one who can stop him – with the help of the government, of course.
