FAIREST by Marissa MeyerĪlso just released yesterday was this much-anticipated prequel to Marissa Meyer’s “Lunar Chronicles” series. Especially since Chase really wants to find out what happened to their parents, and why he was separated from his family. As you might expect, that becomes a bit of a sore point between them.

To his frustration, she knows things about his past–things he used to like, things their family did together–that he doesn’t remember. Chase, the main character, can’t remember much of his past, and aside from all the drama of the story, he’s recently met his little sister and is trying to get to know her. It’s an adventure in space with space craft, monsters, good guys, and bad guys. As you can tell from the title, it’s Sci-Fi, but it’s Middle Grade Sci-Fi which means it’s not full of heavy science. And I really really like the cover artwork. The series is written for Middle Graders, but it’s a lot of fun for all ages. I won an ARC of it last year and posted a review HERE. This is the second in Rachel Searles’ THE LOST PLANET series, and it released just yesterday. So if you don’t have these on your TBR list, add them! THE STOLEN MOON by Rachel Searles I’m highlighting these because they are all part of series that I’m enjoying right now. Star Trek for young fans of the genre, who'll be thrilled at the prospect of a sequel.This is a quick post to draw your attention to some novels that have just come out, and one that’s due out in a few months. 'Searles' action- and intrigue-packed sci-fi thriller is peopled with characters who are sometimes confused, sometimes heroic and sometimes brats-that is to say, always genuine. The Stolen Moon, the thrilling sequel to Lost Planetby Rachel Searles, is an exciting science fiction adventure perfect for Star Wars fans. Chase, Parker, Lilli, android Mina, and the solider Maurus are fighting for their lives, the lives of Lennard and his crew, and for the truth about what Asa has in store for the universe. There are only two people who may have the key to their abilities, and their purposes: Captain Lennard, who is harboring Chase and Lilli (and Chase's friend,Parker) on his spaceship, and Asa Kaplan, who may be responsible for an interplanetary takeover meant to push Lennard out of power. Chase can 'phase'-pass through objects, and Lilli can 'transport'-send a copy of herself to other locations, even other planets. He doesn't remember his past, but Lilli does-she remembers their parents, and life before their planet was destroyed. Chase has been reunited with his younger sister, Lilli.
