File this under: things I wish had existed when I was about 11. Because man. 
 Still, super enjoyable and fun. Simplisticly written, but never talking down to its intended audience. And Sutherland does not omit the realities of the world she's created. There are deaths in this book and they are not sugar-coated. Which actually really impressed me. 
 I'll definitely be looking for the rest of these at the library sometime soon!
