Why read it?
1 author picked The Arrow as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A normal high school in Wisconsin disappears, along with everyone in it.

The Woods, my favorite comic series of all time, is split into nine volumes, and the first hits the ground running. With Lord of the Flies-level social politics and a high body count, this sci-fi saga is not for the faint of heart.
From Dev's list on The best dark, gritty YA books for the omnivorous reader.
