From the New York Times and international bestselling author of the Matched trilogy, Ally Condie, comes a brand new mysterious world!
Can you hear Atlantia breathing?
For as long as she can remember, Rio has dreamt of the sand and sky Above—of life beyond her underwater city of Atlantia. But in a single moment, all her plans for the future are thwarted when her twin sister, Bay, makes an unexpected decision, stranding Rio Below. Alone, ripped away from the last person who knew Rio’s true self—and the powerful siren voice she has long hidden—she has nothing left to lose.
Guided by a dangerous and unlikely mentor, Rio formulates a plan that leads to increasingly treacherous questions about her mother’s death, her own destiny, and the complex system constructed to govern the divide between land and sea. Her life and her city depend on Rio to listen to the voices of the past and to speak long-hidden truths.
Perfect for fans of the dystopian settings of The Hunger Games and Divergent, the gripping second installment of the Slated trilogy is a riveting psychological thriller set in a future where violent teens have their memory erased as an alternative to jail.
When Kyla was slated, her memory was erased for good.
Except it wasn’t.
Not completely.
She remembers years of working with Antigovernment Terrorists.
She remembers acts of violence against the Lorders.
But perhaps most important—she remembers Ben.
If he’s alive, Kyla’s about to play a dangerous game between the Lorders and the AGT.
Then again, every move in her new life is a gamble.
Katie and Suzanne want to see the new big movie, Tornado, but neither of their parents will let them. As Suzanne complains loudly about always being treated like her baby sister, Katie actually becomes Suzanne's baby sister, Heather. When Katie is Heather-she speaks. Find out how Katie gets out of this one!
Dos grandes enemigos están de continuo a sus puertas: la oligarquía, por la cual el pequeño número domina al mayor, y la anarquía, en que cada individuo celoso de su independencia, se opone al voto general. Rodeados e estos riesgos, ¿cuáles son sus medios de defensa? No tiene otros que su régimen interior, y quien no podrá salvarlos, sino en tanto que imponga constantemente al cuerpo entero la necesidad de la moderación de la reflexión y de la perseverancia.
