BLURB
Daisy knew her sister would be Culled, she just didn’t know it was going to happen in the dead of night.
Off the west coast of the United States, sits an island housing individuals with enhanced senses. Every month, an annual Culling takes place. Those Culled never come back, and no one dares to question the formidable company in charge. Daisy always expected her sister to be Culled before her, especially since Poppy has five enhanced senses.
But after the annual Culling, when Daisy has let her guard down, she wakes up in the middle of the night to find her sister ensnared in intricate machinery. To make matters worse, her dad is *helping* the soldiers take Poppy away. After overhearing sensitive information, Daisy sets out to find out the truth behind the island. Enlisting in the aid of her best friend, history teacher, and a secretive intellectual, Daisy must use all her senses to survive or she may never see her sister again.
The world of YA fiction is constantly evolving, and readers are drawn to stories that blend adventure with moral dilemmas. In this article, we explore themes present in popular series like 'Divergent' and 'The Hunger Games', where protagonists face oppressive regimes while embarking on personal journeys. Daisy's story resonates with the current young adult narrative that emphasizes empowerment and the quest for truth. As society grapples with issues like surveillance and authoritarian control, such themes in YA literature become ever more relevant. For those interested in exploring similar narratives, consider these engaging titles that also feature strong female leads confronting adversity: ‘Legend’ by Marie Lu, ‘An Ember in the Ashes’ by Sabaa Tahir, and ‘Cinder’ by Marissa Meyer. Like Daisy, these characters grow through their trials, showcasing resilience and ingenuity. As fans of science fiction and YA literature, encouraging readers to support new authors adds depth to the community. Engaging in discussions about emerging works like this WIP allows for connections among readers and writers alike, fostering a richer literary culture.
