What this book is about
Maria V. Snyder's YA dystopian novel follows Trella, a scrub who cleans the pipes of Inside — a sealed, hierarchical world divided between the working Lower Level and the privileged Uppers. When she encounters a man claiming to have found a way out, she becomes part of a dangerous rebellion. A compact and propulsive dystopian YA with a distinctive world-building premise.
