Official Summary
What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths--until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.
My Two Cents
This book was wonderful! My son Max touts it as "one of the best he's ever read." Now, granted, the Teen Fiction sub-genre of Post Apocalyptic Dystopia, fueled by the Hunger Games series, has become a bit played out. But this book stands out among the rest as the next great series. Another quick read, edge of your seat excitement - as good as watching TV (well, I think better). Another great one you and your kids can share.
