Who Are You?

"Who are you when you're alone? When When no one is watching? What's left then?" That is a question Katy, aka "Kid" must answer in her futuristic high school.

Unidentified
By: Rae Mariz

In the future the government will lose all funding for education. Schools will be forced to turn to corporations for funding. Technology will begin to replace teachers.
At least, that is history to Kid. She is a normal student in the Game: a mall-turned-school with invention beyond your very belief. Her school has it all: an amusement park, a studio, a movie theater (where they play only documentaries), an arcade, a mechanics shop, and a Sweat Shop. The most talented are chosen to promote products. School is normal.
That is, until a dummy falls into the center of the Game with a note saying “UNIDENTIFIED, CHOOSE YOUR SUICIDE”. When most people shrugs it off as a bad advertisement, Kid researches more and finds out that the Unidentified is a group of people against the corporate sponsors and the Game itself. When Kid learns that the Unidentified are sending out a computer virus into the Game she tries to prevent it. But the question is “How?”
Coming out in October, this book gives a taste of high school drama as well as everything students wish school was. With 5-stars, this book is for teens everywhere.
