Fever Crumb by Philip Reeve

4.0

I love weird steampunky future societies.Throw in some genetic mutation and a heroine with her crazy grandfather's memories running about in her head, and you've got something far more interesting than the typical young adult offering. Fever is anything but the normal 15 year old. She's obsessed with reason and logic, thinks emotions are absurd, and shaves her head. The only 'romance' in the book deals with the girl's parents' odd relationship and that hardly qualifies as lovey-dovey. She is a strong character who never falls into the 'woe-is-me' trap, even at her darkest moments. And, there's robot-ish soldiers, too.
