I realised one of the ARCs I'd asked for and received was actually book three in a series I wasn't familiar with, so I ended up buying the first book - I don't usually care to jump into a series in the middle of it.
That first book is Itch by Simon Mayo - probably more children's than YA, but right up my alley, so I'm really rather pleased so far about the way this unplanned purchase is turning out. It's exactly the kind of contemporary school-kid story / adventure (with a bit of science thrown in) that I'd have adored as a ten-year-old; as someone a few times that, it's probably not going to make my all-time top ten of favourite books (although, to be fair, most of them are MG/YA adventures), but in any case, I'm enjoying it a great deal so far.
