To me, this seems interesting, a world with no adults, no one to boss you around or tell you what to do. This is probably just the teenager thing to say, but it is what I feel. I have a lot of confidence in my self that makes me think that I would be able to live on my own, with no adults helping me do what I want.
But, of course, all the kids are practically going crazy without the adults, with no one to lead them they DO do what they want, and that turns out to be just utter chaos. Everyone starts turning to Sam, just for the fact that they think that he will be able to lead them, all because of what he did on a school bus one day.
If this were me, the first thing I would do was find somewhere I could go, away from everyone but not too far, and start building a firepit and a bow so I would be able to hunt. This could keep me going for however long I would need, and I would be able to give away a surplus of food to the people who need it.
I am not going to go into detail, in hopes of not spoiling the book for any of you who has not read it yet. Soon, strangely, some of the kids start developing weird powers, for seemingly no reason. This whole book was very good and I recommend it to everyone I know.
