self/less

A world where self-expression is banned. A world where survival is everything. A girl who will be heard... Seventeen-year-old Teddy lives in the walled-in city Metropolis. Radical laws condemn all forms of self-expression and creativity, and the lives of the people are carefully constructed and controlled by the City Council: We watch because we care. When Teddy finds out the truth behind one of the City's biggest lies, she slips out into the darkness of the City after curfew. She is captured by strangers and held prisoner in an old bomb shelter that lies beneath the City. Here, Teddy discovers that there is a world beneath Metropolis, a world where a growing web of clans are fighting to keep their humanity alive, and waiting for a leader to unite them and lead them back up into the light. This book is a must-read for any YA lover or lover's of The Hunger Games and Divergent series. The book is perfect for engaging reluctant teen readers and a great story for the book-loving young adults in your life.
