Seeds of Rebellion by Brandon Mull - ESSENTIAL

Mull, Brandon Seeds of Rebellion (Beyonders 2), 483 p. Aladdin (Scholastic), 2012.  $20.  

Violence: PG (lots of tension, nothing overly described – unless zombies creep you out); Other Content: G.  

After being at home for awhile, Jason decides that he must return to Lyrian – even if it means going through that hippo again.  Maldor’s power has increased steadily.  There is only a small chance that Jason can reunite with Rachel, Galloran, Ferrin and a few others and convince the few remaining free peoples to support them in starting a rebellion – a very small chance.  As the group flees across the world, there will never be a chance to relax; they must forge new alliances and convince a cowed and reluctant people that they might have a chance.  

Did you see that I mentioned zombies.  Cool!  I talked to Brandon Mull lately at a book signing and he said there will definitely only be three books in the series.  I am very disappointed, because I enjoyed these even more than the Fablehaven books!
