Quick Summary
In a world where the government harvests organs from "unwound" teenagers, six runaways form an unlikely family while racing across America to find safety, and the emotional stakes hit just as hard as the action. Readers will root for these complex characters as they outsmart bounty hunters, question their morality, and discover what family really means when society has written them off. If your kid likes the tension and ethical questions in The Hunger Games, they'll devour this road-trip thriller with its twisty plot and characters who feel like real people. Perfect for grades 10-12 readers who want dystopian stories with real heart and don't mind darker, more complex themes.
