dzposableheroes Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 You know when you have read so many books that you just can't remember what they were called or who wrote them? I'm sure you do If anyone could help with either of these books it would be much appreciated. Book One: It is a fantasy novel based in a society run by women. These women have magical powers and when they come of age they are required to use these powers in a battle arena against a male slave. This is because the queen fears being taken over by someone with stronger magic. She finds one such girl and sends her off on an impossible mission. Don't remember much about the rest only that one of her traveling companions would change gender after any intimate relations. Book Two: This book is a teen novel and similar to the movie Red Dawn. 4 (I think) high school aged kids are hanging out in the woods (camping I think) only to return to their small town to discover it's been over run by a military operation. The story is about them fighting back. Sorry, I can't remember any more details then this. Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mia Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Book Two sounds a bit like Tomorrow When the War Began, by John Marsden. I've only read it once, so details are hazy, but I think there were more kids. Kylie loves these books, so she'll probably know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Yes, I think Mia is right. That sounds exactly like Tomorrow, When the War Began (I think some editions are just called When the War Began). There were about 6 kids that went camping. It's actually part of a series of 10 books that all brilliant. They just get better and better as they go along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzposableheroes Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'm pretty sure that's it guys, thank you! Next time I go to the library I'll have to check them out. I know I read the first and maybe the second but I didn't realize there were more. Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the first book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
