Grassland Trilogy series.
After escaping enslavement by the Spears, Coriko, Pippa, and their friends find themselves searching for their former homes. Pippa's joyous reunion with her father quickly turns into war against the soldiers. While several scenes are incredibly violent, overall the story explores themes of love, friendship, and peace. Fans of the series will enjoy this trilogy-ender.

Grassland Trilogy series.
Coriko's entire world consists of his forced labor in Grassland and his love for his cellmate, Pippa. But war is coming, and the only hope for survival lies in escape. Ward's intriguing society is populated mostly with children whose only knowledge is empirical, and Coriko's blank-slate perspective is unique and compelling.

Grassland Trilogy series.
The escaped children of Grassland want to settle down in happy couples, but they're instead captured and sent off to deal with the Spears. In order to keep his beloved Pippa safe, narrator Coriko becomes what he hates. Coriko's voice is so compelling that even when the story is too slowly paced (as it often is), readers will keep turning pages.
