I’m currently rereading the Gone series before I read MONSTER (and I’m falling in love with the series all over again!) but I’m 3/4 of the way through Hunger and I just had a thought - how come nobody has any kind of fruit tree etc in their gardens? Because the only grown vegetables talked about are in the actual fields outside of Perdido. Is it to do with climate or just an unlucky fact that nobody has them?

Michael Grant I did some research on the area which is basically Pismo Beach, CA, and while some individual homes might have citrus trees, there wouldn't be commercially-grown, large scale fruit production. Sadly for the kids in the FAYZ.

When you wrote Gone did you want people to learn something from it like some lesson his beneath the surface or was it just for fun?

Toshita asked Michael Grant:

People say that authors write the books they would rather read, do you find this statement applying to you?

Judith asked Michael Grant:

Will there be another book in the Messenger of Fear series? I thank you for writings and hope to hear soon. Thank you.
