Why read it?
1 author picked Behind the Gates as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I enjoyed this series because it was a well-written, fast-paced, interesting, clean story that I was happy to share with my children (especially my daughters). Each of the four books follows the perspective of one of the four main characters, and all of these girls are strong, loyal, and have a clear sense of right and wrong. They are not ashamed to be “good,” which is a refreshing find in dystopian futures!
From Anna's list on to set your faith on fire.
