"Best dystopian read for younger readers. The movie did not do this book justice in any way. "

"⭐⭐⭐ even though I gave it a low rating, I really liked this book. It's different from what I usually read, but I was so excited to find out that it's part of a series. I'm definitely planning on reading the next one "

"Unique classic, easy to read and presents some great questions about society. I do wish the main character had been older. As it was he was younger than 12: he wasn’t very relatable and didn’t think things through the way I wish he had. "
