Alright guys, this is my absolute favorite trilogy in the entire universe. I love nothing more than these books. Alexandra Bracken if you are reading this (And I doubt you are) I love you! You are just amazing and I love your books and just Oh My God. I love these.
So the first book in this amazing thriller dystopian survival story we follow sixteen year old Ruby Daly. When she was ten a horrendous illness struck America, killing off 98% of the children. The remaining 2% were taken to camps after developing special powers. This illness gave these children supernatural powers. Once they were taken to these concentration camps their names were taken away and they were known by the colors in which their supernatural ability is. There is Blue: Telekinesis. Green: Crazy smart. Yellow: Control electricity. Red: Control fire, can get very angry. Orange: Very rare. They can look into your mind and change your thoughts and emotions and make you do things. Ruby finds out that she is an Orange, after erasing her parents memories. Oranges are either killed right away, or taken to a secure area of the camp and kept there until they die. Ruby gets by though by saying she is a Green. Six years in Thurmond, and Ruby is taken to the infirmary after she faints. A nurse there, acting peculiar ends up breaking her out of Thurmond along with another kid, a boy her age named Marvin who is also and Orange in hiding. The nurse, Cate, is part of a League that breaks out these children and trains them to become sort of like secret agents.
Ruby starts to get a bad feeling about Cate. When they stop at a gas station Ruby makes a run for it after finding a child in the gas station and running after her. Along the way, Ruby finds the girl, Zu, and two boys her age, Chubs and Liam who have recently broken out of another concentration camp and are on the run.
I don't want to give to much away, but you have to read this trilogy. You just have to. The writing is fantastic and you meet so many great characters along the way and adventure. I just kept on turning the pages and turning and turning. These books were definitely filled with tears. I don't reread books. At all. But I have reread this entire series a couple of time and the last book only came out like two months ago. I just love it so much. And because I was with this trilogy from the start, the books are really apart of me, and I love the characters so much. So there you have it. PLEASE READ!
