How does it feel to  be considered a monster your whole life? Even your own parents have sent you to an asylum, because they too feel that you are a threat to society. All you want is to have a friend – someone who understands your true compassion and humanity. Juliette’s only childhood friend becomes her only ally in this dystopian styled science fiction novel. Well written with an explanation for the strike-outs and scribbles throughout the text. This is the first in the Shatter Me series. Also includes at the end Destroy Me, Warner’s (a character in the book) novella. The ending will have you wanting more.

Recommended for grades 8 and up. Great choice for Sci-fi lovers.
