The book I am currently reading,
Light, which I wrote about in my last post, is about kids struggling to make it through a tough time. In this tough time, leaders must be formed to help the kids feel some safety. One of the key character that the book focuses a lot of its time on is Sam. Before the FAYZ, (Fallout Aley Youth Zone) Sam was just a regular guy. He loved to surf and hang out with his best friend, Quinn. One of the most important things about Sam being a leader is that Sam was one of the first kids in the FAYZ to develop powers. Sam's power is that he can create light with his hands; he can shoot beams of light that will vaporize anything they touch, or he can create little balls of light that float in the air, which was very imortant, especially when the power went out in the city. Sam's role as a leader develops throught the Gone Series, from being the leader of his small 5 person group, to the entire town. At first he feels like he doesnmt really know what he is doing, but becomes a better leader and a better person.
Mike, it seems like Sam is a very interesting character. I'm wondering, does the book mention exactly how Sam got his power? You said that he "developed his power" but how did he do that? Did it happen naturally, or did something happen to him that made him get this power of light? Anyway, thanks so much for sharing about the main character in your series. It definitely seems like one I'll have to check out.
