Kiandra has to use her wits and tech-savvy ways to help rescue Edwy, Enu, and the others from the clutches of the Enforcers in the thrilling final novel of the Children of Exile series from New York Times bestselling author, Margaret Peterson Haddix.

Since the Enforcers raided Refuge City, Rosi, Edwy, and the others are captured and forced to work as slave labor on an alien planet, digging up strange pearls. Weak and hungry, none of them are certain they will make it out of this alive.
But Edwy’s tech-savvy sister, Kiandra, has always been the one with all the answers, and so they turn to her. But Kiandra realizes that she can’t find her way out of this one on her own, and they all might need to rely on young Cana and her alien friend if they are going to survive.
 Why I can't wait for this one!

What can I say? It's YA science fiction!! I ESPECIALLY love this combination!! Besides, I've seen all those AWESOME covers with the name "Haddix" boldly printed on them. So I got hooked, of course!! Now I have to catch up with book one.....




Be sure to catch the rest of the
Children of Exile series 
right HERE!

    I've seen the author's name pop up too, but I haven't read anything of hers yet. I do like all the YA science fiction we're seeing though lately.

      Hi, Greg!

    I agree that the cover of this book is very attacrive. Of course there is the old adage that is obviously true about not judging a boob by its cover. With that the artwork makes me want to just start reading this book. The only thing is that I would start at the beginning of the series.

      Hi, Brian!

      It certainly is!! :)

      I wonder where that old adage came from. While true, it's also true that catchy book covers do attract potential readers. If you click on the link for this series, you'll see the previous covers. I don't like them that much....

      I would want to start the first book, too. I keep coming across great reads that are part of an ongoing series! Lol.

      Thanks for commenting!! <3 :)

    I LOVE the sound of this one, Maria! Thank you for bringing the series to my attention. Though right now I'm trying to be very grown up and read a number of my TBR books before buying any more! But... science fiction AND kidnapped children... *drools unbecomingly*
