The Darkest Minds
by Alexandra Bracken
A disease breaks out that affects children between 10-14. It's called IAAN (Idiopathic Adolescent Acute Neurodegeneration). Some kids are killed by this disease, others are left changed with different abilities. The adults fear them and send them to camps for rehabilitation, Ruby has posed as a green, but is really an orange. The Children's League breaks her out and she realizes that enemies are everywhere and the world is not the same.
This has been on my shelf for a while. Long enough for me to not be sure if I wanted to keep it. The movie coming out motivated me to pick it up. I'm so glad that did. Yes, this is another kids with super powers save the world story. But it's also so much more than that. It's so much darker than I expected. It's not just kids vs. adults. It's deeper and more complex than that. Ruby is slowly learning how to control her powers and that she's not a monster. Liam, Chubs and Zu becomes her new family. There isn't a pretty and hopeful ending , which is kind of what I was expecting. It was dark and sad. But, I can't wait for the next book!
