Left Behind: The Kids
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Left Behind: The Kids is a series written by Jerry B. Jenkins, Tim LaHaye, and Chris Fabry. It is about teenagers during the Rapture, with background plots from the adult series. However, the main characters are different.
Taken from the back cover of the first book: "In one shocking moment millions around the globe disappear. Those left behind face an uncertain future—especially four kids who now find themselves alone. As the kids search for help and for answers, they are told the truth behind the disappearances. But are they ready to believe it?"
