Review Summaries
"The 8th book in the K.A. Applegate series is mysterious yet one can relate to the personalities of the characters. First set in Olympia a group of teenagers set out to the savannah of uncharted land along the way clashing with many gods. This book is a must read if you are into sci-fi!!"
