New Books!

Whew! Preparing for the SRP has made me fall behind, so here's a month's worth of new books for you...

Hunger: a Gone Novel by Michael Grant (Sequel to Gone)

Conditions worsen for the remaining young residents of a small California coastal town isolated by supernatural events when their food supplies dwindle and the Darkness underground awakens.

***Kate says "I love this series! In Gone, everyone over the age of 15 instantly vanishes, leaving the surviving children and teens to fend for themselves. Also, some people have begun developing superhuman powers, which range from healing to supersonic speed to levitation. Hunger picks up right after Gone ends, and conditions in Perdido Beach have worsened, and in addition to the lack of food, the tension between those without powers and those with have risen. If you have a taste for post-apocalyptic fiction with a bit of horror, definitely pick these up."***
