Synopsis:

For fans of Uglies comes a spiraling, intense sci fi thriller.

"Control blew me away. The twists and turns and suspense made for a thrilling ride. Zel is as authentic a character as I've read in a very long time. Highly recommended" - James Dashner, New York Times bestselling author of The Maze Runner

Set in 2150 — in a world of automatic cars, nightclubs with auditory ecstasy drugs, and guys with four arms — this is about the human genetic "mistakes" that society wants to forget, and the way that outcasts can turn out to be heroes.

When their overprotective father is killed in a terrible accident, Zel and her younger sister, Dylia, are lost in grief. But it's not until strangers appear, using bizarre sensory weapons, that the life they had is truly eviscerated. Zel ends up in a safe house for teens that aren't like any she's ever seen — teens who, by law, shouldn't even exist. One of them — an angry tattooed boy haunted by tragedy — can help Zel reunite with her sister.

But only if she is willing to lose him.

California Librarian, April 2, 2010 (view all comments by California Librarian)
The Adoration of Jenna Fox

Jenna Fox is a newly reborn teenager. She learns she was in an accident and the coma, from which she has awakened, was actually a bio-medical miracle. Jenna is an illegally rebuilt person. As she strives to learn more of whom or what she is, the inner turmoil of adolescence and her memory become her antagonists. As Jenna demands more of a “normal” life from her parents, she experiences emotions that are mysterious and relationships that both trouble and comfort her. Mary Pearson’s foray into bio-medical science leaves us with ethical questions to deliberate. How long do we want to live? Of what is our humanity made? Do we have the right to save a life and at what point have we gone too far? Pearson’s ending not only surprises us, but leaves us with much to think about.
