    Excerpt: Laohu the tiger, ran around on the kitchen counter and pounced on crumbs. Although the crumbs didn’t run away, there always seemed to be more to replace the ones he knocked off the counter onto the floor. At the other end of the counter, the Mother chopped vegetables, occasionally sending little specks flying into the air. Laohu wanted to chase those too (how dare they try to flee from the Mother!), but had been told not to bother her when she was working.

    Summary

    Because girl groups, childhood games, henshin pens, secret passwords, and shoujo manga can save the world.

    "There was something about the pen encircled by the ring, something that reminded her of summer days trying to keep her red bean popsicle from dripping over the manga she was reading, of lurking in the air-conditioned apartment and spying on the adults for reasons she had long since forgotten."

    Spoilers for the entire series.

    Excerpt: Michael Zhang was twelve years old when he first discovered the secret passage out of the Dome.

    The Dome wasn’t entirely sealed off, of course: there were the pipes which brought captured rainwater to the filtration plant, the hundreds and thousands of tiny holes which allowed air to pass in and out, and the terrible Exile Gate through which mutant babies and children and even the occasional long-undiscovered adult were thrust out, never to return. The boys and girls whispered that the white piles of baby bones rose so high on either side of the Exile Gate that a tall man couldn’t see over them.
