my pie in the sky wishlist at powells. really though, i can get more book elsewhere for cheaper so i'm all about the gift certificates! ;)
i'm not interested in making any money off of any of this, i just wanted to be able to post the book cover pictures because that's prettier and more interesting.
theoretically, i would get a comission off of any purchases through this site, but a) i'm not expecting a dime, and b) if i do get a dime, it'll go to a charity. which? not sure. if you have any ideas/inclinations, please tell me.
also, check out the following sites for (usually) cheaper prices: bookfinder.com, alibris.com, overstock.com, & bookcloseouts.com.
such a great book! read it in one sitting, great from the beginning to the end. i am determined to get the sequel asap. so so good.
i love post-apocalyptic books, especially children’s post-apocalyptic books – and believe me, there are quite a few out there!
this book reminded me a lot of the the trilogy the wind on fire by william nicholson, although it isn’t as sophisticated as nicholson’s, or as good really, but it seems a little more direct, like it’s trying to tell a story with ideas, but not trying to preach to you or rock your world.
i like that, a simple read for those days when you want something thought-provoking and yet not too heavy.

It is about a girl named lina and a boy named doon. They dont know that thgey are living in this dark under ground city and the suplies are running out. They found instructions that they think will help them understand how to get out…it is about there adventure…
