This book was really good! I am definitely going to read the rest of the series. The whole time you read it, you're left with a wondering of what would happen if the main protagonist stepped out of the shadows. The pacing was so perfect, it was almost like a thriller. The book kept me hooked so much that I couldn't put it down.

My favorite moment was when all my students audibly gasped when we found out Jen died. Great read, but unfortunately, it mirrored society in the US a little too much.

The fact that Jen and the other ~40 kids get shot is what seals this for me as a realistic distopia I fear 
medium-paced

this went crazy in sixth grade

Always a good read. The students love it as do I!
