Everything I've come to expect from Haddix: super engaging premise that's worked out in an exciting way, okay characters that aren't super memorable but get the job done, twists and turns that keep you interested, and an intriguing ending that leaves you wanting the next book.
Moderate: Child death
Minor: Abortion
I'd recommend this book for a slightly older age group than kids reading The Missing series. This one has a bit more mature themes, including hinting at abortion though not mentioning it, an oppressive government, and a child's death.scramuel058's review against another edition
