One minute he's there, the next, he's gone. Lana is driving along a dirt road in the middle of nowhere with her grandfather when he disappears. The whole town is a mess. Bullies are raiding the stores of candy, alchohol, and cigarettes. The most interesting part is the wall. A huge wall that goes on forever and ever in all directions surrounding Perdido Beach. Three days later, a group of kids arrive from the school for troubled teens up on the hill, Coates Academy. Caine, one of the students there has a plan to help get the town in shape. At first everyone thinks he is great, but when things start to get a little strange, Sam and his friends Astrid, Edilio, and Quinn are running for there lives, trying to stop what Caine has started and before Sam disappears on his 15th birthday just like everyone else.

Comment: I loved this book. It was interesting and unexpected. The beginning was a little slow but as soon as the kids from Coates arrived it got better. This is a book for both boys and girls, and towards the end it kept me reading up late. ~Missbettyboop155
