Volume 4: Still reeling from the climactic events of "P.E.," the Glories find themselves lost in time and space, confronted by a new group of students who might be even more dangerous than the faculty themselves — the truants! Questions are answered and new mysteries emerge as Season One comes to a shocking end!

Volume 5: The Glories are scattered, The Faculty broken, and The Truants on the attack! Collecting the explosive, mind-bending Season 2 premiere event, "Tests.

Volume 6: The Glories are scattered, the Faculty is broken, and the Truants are on the attack!

Volume 7: The Truants are back in class, and that means new mysteries abound! And whatever happened to Abraham? The answer to that question and more as Season Two races on!

Volume 8: It's time to stop running! Allegiances are formed, rivals are challenged, and the Glories take a defiant stand against the faculty in the explosive turning point-arc "Assembly."

I am so invested in this storyline. I sped read through five volumes and am left hungering for even more. I dove into the Truants storyline and made even more connections to the characters. Irina is fascinating, Ian is an enigma, and Akiko is just plan awesome. I can't wait to see how their stories interact with the original Glories. And I think Ms. Hodge is my new favorite overall character. As to the plot, I was on pins and needles waiting to find out what happens next. I even gasped aloud at a few of the crazier plot twists. Some questions have been answered (I think), but so many more have been raised in these volumes. I need Volume 9!
