The Demonata by Darren Shan

We have some real readers at Hadley Middle School. One of my helpers in the library, Chris, reads SO much that he is always telling me about new series and new books. He told me about the Darren Shan series The Demonata (Shan is known for Cirque Du Freak of course--and Chris is one of the people who helped me want to read that series). I am reading book 2 of The Demonata, just because I couldn't get the first one at the public library. Oh yeah, it is called "Demon Thief." link It is pretty intense so far. The main character came back from "beyond" -- and I don't know where that was. This protagonist isn't any help because he doesn't REMEMBER anything about where he was. But, I think he brought someone back with him!!!!

Shan's website says "The Demonata" is a ten-book series which will take readers into new realms and universes, all of them populated or threatened by demons. Fast-paced and bloody, horrific and fantastic, frightening and exciting. You might never look at the world in the same way again ..." I don't think we will get this one in the middle school library, but if you want it go to the public library like I did!
