Review
Dahlia16 is genetically designed to be a gardener. She is one of 5000 other 16 year-olds that look just like her, but have been genetically engineered for different purposes. Each member of their community is there for the good of the community; thoughts or individual needs or wants means that their genetic clones are flawed and if they are flawed, then that means extermination, not for one but the other 4999. Dahlia has these thoughts and desires and they are increased when she meets Trigger17 who training for the community's Special Forces. One thing leads to another and they are thrust into the secret and mysterious world that Dahlia and Trigger need to escape from in order to live. The author used the "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley as her inspiration for this new dystopian series.
Recommended for grades 7-9.
