We are all different in some way. Bookworms especially. When others chatter about the newest dance on Tik-Tok or the newest movies, we discuss our new favorite books and trade fan-fictions. This book, however, deserves recognition! I loved how this book zoned in on how even something that looks perfect, can be rotten on the inside. In this dystopian realm, those who are born with special abilities are given better chances in life than those who are not. Shannon Messenger explored the realm of injustice, strength, beauty and hate. This book is a true page-turner!
Sophie Foster is special. 12 years old, she was already offered a Yale scholarship, top in her school, and friendless. Lonely. Different. Except after a field trip gone wrong, she realizes just how different and special she is. After meeting Fitz, he shows her who she truly is. Yet when darkness threatens to destroy the new home she has created for herself, will she lose her life to the only people she has ever trusted? Or will this tween genius make it out?
Full of hope and heartwarming family mishaps, and friendship troubles, this book endeavors to expose the flaws of our society and that not everything is as it seems at first glance. People are layered. There is always something hiding beneath the surface.
