I shouldn't have to say this, but please keep all spoilers tagged.
I love these books to death

But for the purposes if making this thread, I wanted to talk about the Lost Books in particular, the first two of which were just released in December. Has anyone read them yet?
It's true that they're geared more toward a teen audience, but they're still chock full of the masterful storytelling and thrilling plot arcs that we've come to expect from Dekker. He also doesn't dumb down his writing at all for the younger target audience. The main protagonists are, themselves, juveniles, and the story is often told somewhat from their perspective, so that may serve to lend some of the "youngish" feel to the story, but the characters are put in situations above and beyond anything an adult would have to face, and they certainly grow and mature because of it.
Don't want to give too much away though. ^_~
Who else has picked up the first two Lost Books? Me, I don't know if I'll be able to wait until May to get the next two!
