Plague, a Gone novel / Michael Grant / 492 pages

Book four of the Gone series follows more misadventures of the young people caught in the FAYZ - Fallout Alley Youth Zone.  Beset by plague, dog-sized flying insects that inhabit the body and chew their way out, the Gaiaphage - the world eater, the Drake/Brittney monster, Orc run amok, and, of course, too little food, running out of water...and Little Pete.  Plague is a page-turning dystopian novel sure to please YA.  The best Gone novel remains the first in the series, although all are great reads dealing with complex social and psychological issues and mature situations.  There is a great deal of violence.
