A review by bradfordreader
The Territory by Sarah Govett
3.0
I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
I gave this book to one of my students (aged 12) as a reward, they read it in less than 24 hours and said they loved it! Their review is as follows
This book is about an average teenage girl and also the struggles she will face in modern society even though it is set in 2059. This is more a sci-fi book as it shows the power of robot brains. This book also has modern and historical links, such as having to have rations but still having things we have such as buses. This book will have me waiting for books 2 and 3. This book will also make you wonder what would happen if this happened to us and the quote 'limited space requires limited number' will surely be the tagline of a future box office hit. This book will leave you wanting more.

After my student read this book I decided to give it a go myself. For me it doesn't have huge crossover appeal but I think kids would enjoy it and get some good messages out of it re:education etc.
