I see you have read Gone & Hubger by Michael Grant? how did you find them. UIreally enjoyed them?

Have you read or got Lies the next in the series? I have it but yet to read

Afsana--I have read all 3 and totally loved them and hooked my students on them! Lies is awesome and I am now waiting on the 4th--apparently Grant's editors don't want him publishing 2 books in this series a year! BooHoo for us readers.

wonder why? to attract more interest I expect.

I hear the next is darkness and then the one after light

Whatever they are about, I know I will LOVE them. Just finished Graceling and Fire by Kristin Cashore---have you read them? Really good with strong female protagonists with lots of supernatural characters
