Summary

The third book in Michael Grant's New York Times bestselling Gone series, Lies is another heart-in-your-throat page-turner, both chilling and thought-provoking.

It's been seven months since all the adults disappeared. Gone.

It happens in one night. A girl who died now walks among the living; Zil and the Human Crew set fire to Perdido Beach, and amid the flames and smoke, Sam sees the figure of the boy he fears the most: Drake. But Drake is dead. Sam and Caine defeated him along with the Darkness--or so they thought.

As Perdido Beach burns, battles rage: Astrid against the Town Council; the Human Crew versus the mutants; and Sam against Drake, who is back from the dead and ready to finish where he and Sam left off. And all the while deadly rumors are raging like the fire itself, spread by the prophetess Orsay and her companion, Nerezza. They say that death is a way to escape the FAYZ. Conditions are worse than ever and kids are desperate to get out. But are they desperate enough to believe that death will set them free?

"Disturbing, brilliantly plotted, and boasting a balanced mix of action and scheming." --ALA Booklist

School Library Journal Review

Gr 9 Up-The community of Perdido Beach was cut off from the rest of the world at the same moment that all the adults disappeared. Food, fuel, and fresh water are running low. In this follow-up to Gone (2008) and Hunger (2009), a prophetess promises a way out, and the dead begin to walk. (c) Copyright 2011.

Horn Book Review

In this sequel to Gone and Hunger, Sam seems to be the only mutant capable of moral integrity--or is he? Short, choppy sentences drive the very fast-moving plot of this near-future post-apocalyptic-meets-comic-book-video-game fantasy complete with graphic violence, death, and cannibalism. Multiple points of view add some confusion. Copyright 2010 of The Horn Book, Inc. All rights reserved.

Booklist Review

Shortly after the world-changing events of Gone (2008) and Hunger (2009), the young residents of the FAYZ face ominous new threats, including a death-obsessed cult leader and the resurrection of a buried girl. And remember Drake the Whip Hand? Yeah, he might be back, too. Grant continues to hurtle through an endlessly fascinating (and increasingly grim) story line; his chief achievement, though, is how the X-Men-style powers of his cast never overwhelm the mournful realization that their world is slowly degenerating into brutality. The vast array of characters will challenge newcomers; fans, though, will go bonkers.--Kraus, Daniel Copyright 2010 Booklist
