I am so guilty. I should be studying but I still managed to convince myself to sneak out some time to read the novel which I had borrowed from the library.
The novel in question, is Gone, written by Michael Grant, published in June 24, 2008. The story is particularly interesting with an ending that promises a sequel. After reading the author's blog here, I realised that the sequel, currently named Sacrifice, will be out around June-July 2009. Plus, a character will die. Oh no. Who's the poor he or she who's going to die? I hope that it's one of the bad guys please. From what I see, it seemed that the person is one of the good guys. >.< Secondly, I have to wait for a year for the sequel?! I think that I would have forgotten the story by then. Looks like I have to borrow Gone again when Sacrifice is released to refresh my memory or buy Gone (which I am very tempted to).
Forgive me for blabbing on but the information along with the covers of the book are as below. Do try to read it. It's quite an interesting book. Seriously, I was forced to live in FAYZ(Fallout Alley Youth Zone), I don't think that I can survive without powers. Yes, I am pampered. However, looking at the young age of 14 years and below being forced to cope with this crisis....I suppose I will fight for my life when it is needed. Ah..let's go to the information of the book then.

Product Description
In the blink of an eye. Everyone disappears. GONE.
Except for the young. Teens. Middle schoolers. Toddlers. But not one single adult. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no internet, no television. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened.
Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents—unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers—that grow stronger by the day.
It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen, a fight is shaping up. Townies against rich kids. Bullies against the weak. Powerful against powerless. And time is running out: On your birthday, you disappear just like everyone else...
