If you are exploring Pratchett's YA don't forget 'Only You Can Save Mankind' and the rest of the Johnny Maxwell books  |
Narnia series is also great. Definitely a classic. I'm glad it's finally getting the credit it deserves with these new movies. I didn't know there were other Wizard of Oz stories. I'm not even sure I knew it was a book to begin with. I'll have to get to the bottom of this. Google Ho!

I loved Maze Runner also. Such a great book. The Grievers...pretty strange stuff. It is pretty similar to Hunger Games. Must be something about that kind of gladiator/game concept that draws people in. Thanks for the suggestion!
