Bookskoetter Review:
Wow, another good book on the list of potential nominees for next year's Gateway award! A couple of students have already highly recommended this title to me, so I sense that it may be a favorite if it makes it to the final list of nominees. While I didn't absolutely love the book, it's story did captivate me, and I ended up reading it in it's entirety within a 24 hour period. I found myself both relating to and rooting for the main character in the novel, who had never questioned her world until a series of events in her life began to open her eyes to injustice of the society in which she lived. I would recommend this book to any teen who enjoys dystopian / science fiction novels, and to anyone who craves an intriguing and exciting story.
