Any Direction’s Reviews > Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane > Status Update

This was the first book I read that dealt with what-comes-after in a Realist(ic) way. It was a shock to middle schooler me to learn that actually being held prisoner is not a bad experience that you can just forget. Writing is better when we consider traumatic events meaningfully instead of brushing them off as part of the adventure. But I guess we can’t all write as well as Suzanne Collins.
