AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'With the intensity of The Handmaid's Tale, the drama of Divergent and the political intrigue of The Darkest Minds series, this is a captivating, fast-paced thriller set in a dystopian world not so different from our own.

'Sixteen-year-old Ally is one of 400 homeless young people who have been promised new and better lives in exchange for their votes.

'The once homeless children and teenagers are now warm and fed. But they are forced to work for the new administration - and their new home is really a prison.

'When Ally's boyfriend Bon vanishes into thin air, her search for him leads her to discovering that the homeless kids are really lab rats intended for scientific testing. And as Ally delves deeper into her search for Bon, she learns the frightening truth behind his disappearance.' (Publication summary)
