Hey guys.
I don’t usually do this, but I’m going to now: if you’re looking for something good to read, then I recommend the Gone series by Michael Grant (co-creator of the Animorphs series which I adored as a child, by the way. I’ve always loved shapeshifters). It’s a YA series, but incredibly dark – at least as dark as my own works, if not more so. Not for the faint of heart – but if you’re reading my website then you’re probably not bothered by that sort of thing.

But the darkness of it isn’t why I like it. It’s a really good read – fast-paced, full of exciting plot twists, and the characters are interesting and relatable. It’s one of those series that’s really hard to put down; I’ve been powering through each installment like a maniac. I read the last one in a couple of days. So don’t read it if you have exams or something else you have to get up early for and can’t afford to be distracted from.

And yes, it’s available in America. I checked. Go try it out – you won’t be disappointed!
