What this book is about
In a future city called Eden — built after ecological collapse — second children are forbidden and hunted. Rowan has been kept hidden her whole life. When she finally escapes into the city, she discovers both the beauty and the darkness of a world built on exclusion. Joey Graceffa's YA dystopian novel draws on his YouTube platform but delivers a genuinely engaging premise about overpopulation and social control.
