10 Second Review
Kira lives in a filthy, backward town. When her mother dies, her body is dragged to an empty field and left for the animals.

Kira's home is burned to the ground and her neighbors want her kicked out of town.
However, her luck is about to change.

An excellent, engaging story that will provide the reader with some interesting dilemmas.
Good for those looking for something different and thought provoking.

NotesWhile not a sequel, this book takes place in the same world as 'The Giver'.

Learning CurveLow: Good for new readers.
