How will an anorexic seventeen-year-old girl from the suburbs fare as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?      Traveling the world on her steed gives Lisa freedom from her troubles at home—her constant battle with hunger, and her struggle to hide it from the people who care about her. But being Famine forces her to go places where hunger is a painful part of everyday life, and to face the horrifying effects of her phenomenal power. Can Lisa find a way to harness that power—and the courage to fight her own inner demons?      A wildly original approach to the issue of eating disorders, Hunger is about the struggle to find balance in a world of extremes, and uses fantastic tropes to explore a difficult topic that touches the lives of many teens. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRAISE FOR THE RIDERS OF THE APOCALYPSE SERIES\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePraise for\u003cem\u003e Hunger:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e An ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers * \"Realistic and compassionate. . . . the writing is never preachy, and it allows an interesting exploration of both intensely personal food issues and global ones.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cem\u003eSLJ, \u003c\/em\u003estarred review \"Jackie Morse Kessler does a fine job of taking a critical issue that has been explored in writing no small number of times, and putting a new and thought provoking spin on it. . . .
