The Inheritance series was very awesome. I read them all from Aug.-Oct. (spread out). I think you would like them!
I read the first book in the series. Thanks for your suggestion.
Did you like it?
I read the first book a long time ago, but it didn’t grab me enough to want to read the entire series. However, I’m very impressed that the author was so young when he wrote it. I’m thinking of reading The Missing series by Margaret Peterson Haddix, since I enjoyed the Shadow Children series. Thanks for your advice!
