![]() ![]() Thank you, sir, for illustrating that a character does not have to be isolated to thrive in YA. ![]() Wells gives her an interesting web of friends who all participate in her adventure, and a loving family who are equally proud of and frustrated with her. I particularly love that Mari doesn't get so caught up in a love interest that she loses sight of her other significant relationships. her friends represent a diverse population as well, which is not only refreshing, but an accurate representation of teen social groups. I'm excited to see a Latina main character in a YA sci fi she's not only racially diverse, but she's a girl, which is rather unusual for the genre. ![]() Mari is a fantastic average girl main character who outwits her opponent to save her city while she is saving herself. ![]() In this society, there is a new drug problem: viral programming that affects the senses via the tech that is directly wired into people's brains. The book is set in a futuristic Los Angeles, where it seems that technology has only gotten progressively pervasive, and the divide between the haves and the have nots has widened. This book has a gorgeous cover, and fantastic blurb by James Dashner, and an exciting dystopian concept.
