What this book is about
Kass Morgan's YA dystopian novel — the basis for the CW TV series — follows four teenagers among the hundred juvenile delinquents sent from a space station to a decimated Earth. The novel alternates perspectives as the teens navigate survival, political conspiracies on the station, and unexpected discoveries on the ground. The TV series diverges significantly from the books; the novel is lighter in tone than the show. Romance, survival danger, and dystopian political intrigue are balanced for the target YA audience.
