PRAISE FOR
“Velvet may have a softer name than her literary
predecessors Katniss, Cassie, and Kaelyn, but like them
she has been forced to take on adult-sized responsibilities
. . . the plot moves quickly, with moments of horror . . .
more of a relationship based book than many other
teen dystopian novels.”
—THE HORN BOOK
“This has plenty of suspense—it’s not a book
to read at bedtime.”

BOOKLIST
“. . . suspenseful . . . this dystopia speaks to a wide range of
readers, including reluctant ones.”
