The Grassland Trilogy

review 1: As long as he can remember, Coriko has been a slave to a group of people he calls the Spears. He doesn't know who they are, or who he was before he was kidnapped to work for them, though his cellmate Pippa remembers more. When the Spears are attacked by Outsiders and a war breaks out, he is forced to try to find a way to escape.This first book in the trilogy is a pretty good pick for 5th-8th grade boys who are reluctant readers, although not necessarily for struggling readers. It's fast-paced and somewhat violent, although probably not violent enough to upset most parents.
review 2: Summary:A group of enslaved children find themselves in the middle of a war that eventually leads to their escape. They must find a way to survive on their own and to discover t... moreheir environment and histories that had been stolen from them. Strengths: Super-fast and action-packed. An intriguing premise that should keep readers craving the rest of the series. It's fun to get the sheltered characters' new accounts on everyday things (i.e. chairs, trees, houses). less
