The Suburb Beyond the Stars by M.T. Anderson is the sequel to The Game of Sunken Places. Brian and Gregory are enjoying planning the next round of the Game, when they discover that all is not well in Vermont, where they played the Game not long ago. When Cousin Prudence and Wee Sniggleping both go
I didn't like this book quite as well as its predecessor. Part of the problem is that it ends in a cliffhanger, but I don't really feel any desire to read the next book (which has not yet been published -- or even written, as far as I know). There's no real plot resolution at the end of this book. Moreover, the last book was a clever puzzle with some scary adventure thrown in; this book is more scary and less mysterious. People who like inventive horror (bizarre monsters and such) will probably enjoy this -- it's just not for me.

I love the first book in this series and even though I thought The Game of Sunken Places was fine without a sequel I still really enjoyed this. Its creepy, funny, weird, all good stuff. I really like the main characters so will probably pick up the other books in the series at some point in the
