\"Gone<\/a>Turns out that Michael Grant (co-creator and author of Animorphs) has been in touch with Stephen King lately, and has gotten him hooked onto Michael’s new series: ‘GONE’. Stephen King read the first book, as well as an advanced copy of the unreleased second book ‘Hunger’, and this is what he wrote about the series to Michael’s editor:<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been corresponding with your \u201cMichael Grant\u201d about his Gone books. More important, I\u2019ve been reading<\/em> the Gone books\u2013the first and Hunger, the follow-up. These are exciting, high-tension stories told in a driving, torrential narrative that never lets up. There are monsters, there are kids with mad-crazy super powers, there\u2019s the mystery of where all the adults went. Most of all, there are children I can believe in and root for. This is great fiction.<\/p>\n

If you want to quote any or all of that, be my guest. I love these books.<\/p>\n

A very big congrats to Michael! I highly enjoyed ‘Gone’ myself, and am glad that the books were well received. The praise is well deserved. <\/p>\n

Also, for those that missed out on the first book, Gone is being re-released on paperback on April 28th, 2009<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
