What this book is about
Veronica Roth's adult debut follows Sonya Kantor, who spent her childhood as the idealized poster child for the Delegation, a surveillance-state regime that used a points system to control citizens' behavior. Decades after the regime's fall, Sonya — having served time in a prison-like enclave — is offered freedom in exchange for finding a missing girl. The novella-length Poster Girl is a contained, sharp dystopian mystery that asks what happens to true believers after the thing they believed in is exposed.
