There is a town in which the children are behaving so badly that the parents decide to leave them during the night. For the first day or two, the children run around stealing candy, vandalizing stuff, etc., and then they realize without the adults to run the utilities, they don’t have any water or power, so half of them get responsible and start running everything, And the other half is still miss behaving.

Finnerty, around what year did you read this book?

Please note you must add genre (e.g., for kids, teens or adults? dystopia/ sci fi, adventure, humor, etc.?) and plot details to the header/ topic title "Fiction". Just copy from what you've already written in the first comment. Requests with vague headers are closed because this group is so large. If you would like help with this, let us know in a new comment.

[Finnerty]

It would’ve been about 10 years ago that I read it. The genre would probably be teen, adventure.

I added some details to the header/ topic title. Feel free to edit it or let us know how you'd like it changed.

Looks good, thanks!
