When Megan and Jacob Hadaway make the long journey to Columbia, they find their new life is filled with untold dangers - and mysteries. Why is the population so old? What has happened to the other children who have been exiled? And how can they escape from the guards who watch their every move?
As they begin to unravel the terrible secret that underpins their society, they realise what they need to do in order to bring down a ruthless system.
Review: Had to DNF this read at 23%. The book just wasn’t interesting to me and wasn’t picking up my interest. I do like the concept and I would love to get into it, but I just can’t at this time.
Verdict: DNF but sounds good!
