Do you like horror, thrillers and dessert? Then come to DIESEL and meet teen fiction author Michael Grant. Mingle with other fans and talk with Michael about his Gone Series and his not yet published book Messenger of Fear. Then at the end of the evening, we'll raffle off two advanced copies of the upcoming book, which will be released September 23rd. Oh yes, and dessert will be served. Sign up in store for our meetYA@DIESEL group for teens who read. Gone imagines a world where, in the blink of an eye, the adults vanish. No one over fifteen is left. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. Gone, too, are the phones, internet, and television. There is no way to get help. Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. 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 and war is imminent.
