Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Egmont's lead fiction title for 2009 is this thrilling and compelling read, a "Lord Of The Flies" for the "Heroes" generation. In the blink of an eye the world changes; all the adults vanish without trace, and those left must try and survive. With some violent scenes, this is one for teens, and it certainly challenges readers to consider what sort of person they would become if all adult structure - school, parents, society, were to disappear. It was published in the US in May 2008 to great acclaim; Egmont will be promoting heavily and the book has a striking jacket design and green edges to the text pages.

Publisher's description:

What is the mysterious wall that has encircled the town of Perdido Beach and trapped everyone within? Why have some kids developed strange powers?
