Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth, a dystopian novel about one womans desperate search for a missing girl...and the dark family secrets she uncovers along the way. This is a fun, read-it-in-a-weekend novel, one that pairs well with Halloween candy, spiked cider and a smattering of neighborhood gossip. But when the time comes to hash out the details with your compatriots, youll find that there are plenty of heavy-bordering-on-frightening topics to consider.--New York Times Book Review Divergent readers will find this compelling page-turner well worth reading.--Buzzfeed WHATS RIGHT IS RIGHT. Sonya Kantor knows this slogan--she lived by it for most of her life. For decades, everyone in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation. Then there was a revolution. The Delegation fell. Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. And everyone else, now free from the Insights monitoring, went on with their lives. Sonya, former poster girl for the Delegation, has been imprisoned for ten years when an old enemy comes to her with a deal: find a missing girl who was stolen from her parents by the old regime, and earn her freedom. The path Sonya takes to find the child will lead her through an unfamiliar, crooked post-Delegation world where she finds herself digging deeper into the past--and her familys dark secrets--than she ever wanted to. With razor sharp prose and insights, Poster Girl is a haunting dystopian mystery that explores the ever expanding role of surveillance on society--an inescapable reality that we welcome all too easily.
