A continuing saga of danger, bravery, and unexpected friendships
After escaping from their lives as slaves and from the deadly warriors called Spears, Corki and Pippa and their new friends believe they’re destined for a better, free life. But when their plan to leave Grassland is thwarted, they find themselves in the grips of a new trial: the Separation. At this horrible event they learn the answer to one of Grassland’s biggest puzzles: What lurks beneath the masks of the warrior Spears?
Forced apart from his beloved Pippa and into a life he despises, Corki finds that there’s more than one way to be trapped. When he and the other former prisoners are offered a comfortable life—clothes, their own homes, a community—in exchange for committing unspeakable deeds, Corki must decide what he truly values and what he’s willing to do to protect it. Full of heart-stopping action, Beneath the Mask continues the story of Corki, Pippa, and the expanding world of Grassland.

David Ward was born in Montreal, Quebec, and grew up in the city of Vancouver beside the mountains and ocean. He was an elementary school teacher for eleven years before completing his master’s degree. David is currently a writer and university instructor in children’s literature. He lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife and three children.
Grade 7 Up—Readers unfamiliar with Escape the Mask (Abrams, 2008) will have a hard time following this installment in the trilogy. The slaves' escape is short-lived. The children are recaptured by the Spears just after boarding their ship to freedom. Instead of being returned to the Diggers to endlessly recover shards, the boys are taken to the Grove to begin their training as Spears and face the Separation. Corki and Thief excel as Spears. They are offered honors, homes, and high positions if they remain. Should they remain Spears, participating in missions they don't agree with, or should they take the chance of escape that they are offered? A fast-paced story about the choices that people make while finding the courage to grow up and walk their own paths.—June H. Keuhn, Corning East High School, NY
