BOOK: Shades' children by Nix

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@SATURN.PLANET.NET>]

Nix, Garth._Shade's children_,1997
     This is an awesome fantasy which takes place in the future where
alien Warlords rule the Earth with creatures made from body parts &
brains from humans.  There are no human adults left on Earth and the
children live in dorms until they are 14 when they are salvaged for
"parts."  The story centers around a group of escaped children who
work like an underground to defeat the horrible monsters and warlords
to regain control of the Earth.  They are led by a human adult
computer intelligence called Shade.  This is a powerful 309 page book
which I purchased because I enjoyed "Sabriel".  "Shade's Children" is
a meaty book -- good for 7th graders and up.  I can't wait to read
more by this author.
