Legend (Legend #1)
by Marie Lu, 305 pages
I think this book is better suited for a different reader. It is a real-written book with a plot that is relevant to our current society. The book follows two characters: June, who was born into wealth and privilege, and Day, who was born in the slums and is now considered the most dangerous terrorist in the country. The Republic tests children at the age of 10, the results of which dictate their path in life. June, who had a perfect score, believes in the system. Day, however, truly knows what happens to the poor children and those who do not score well.
June's entire worldview is thrown into chaos as soon as she meets Day. Each new question she asks uncovers a new layer of conspiracies. She is going to eventually have to choose a side - either the safety of the Republic, or the truth of the rebellion.
Anyone who loves dystopias, conspiracies, or the power of ordinary people to change society will like this book.
