Author: Jeanne DuPrau
Why Selected: Required read, YA fiction
Literary Merit: Dystopian fiction about an underground city which is running out of time due to a mistakenly lost message for egress. Two kids find the way out despite governmental attempts to stop them. Some unbelievable parts but that is not really the point. It works as a good read despite having to suspend belief of a lot of things.
Share: A good class read and discussion as there are many issues one can raise from it.
Appeal: Grades 3-8
Awards: None
