The Sandman virus wiped out most of the population. The fortunate few live in one of three Neighbourhoods, each protected by the Boundary. Beyond the Boundary is Outside - a wasteland populated with infected feral Echoes. Luckily for MaryAnn, she lives in the Neighbourhood that was once known as Manchester. And she's a rich and privileged Alpha. Although her parents aren't celebrities - which MaryAnn would like, because then she'd be invited to cooler parties - they are influential in the Light, the Neighbourhood's leadership. So MaryAnn has designer clothes, servants, and nothing more to worry about than bagging a date with peer group kudos. |amazonuk=<amazonuk>1909776009</amazonuk>}} {{newreview|title=The Testing |author=Joelle Charbonneau|rating=4|genre=Teens|summary=I'll break from my usual reviewing style of starting off with a plot summary here, for reasons which will shortly become obvious, and just start by saying ''The Testing'' is an interesting dystopian read, with a wonderful narrator, which I'd definitely recommend.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>1848776535</amazonuk>}} {{newreview|title=The Phenomenals: A Game of Ghouls|author=F E Higgins|rating=4.5|genre=Confident Readers|summary=Once again, I’ve jumped right in here – going straight to the second book in a series. As it happens, A Game of Ghouls is not a bad one to do that with. You’re never left confused because you haven’t read the first one (A Tangle of Traitors) because they keep you up to date enough for it to be a fairly good stand alone. You want to find the first one though, because if it’s going to be anywhere near as good as this one it’s a book you want to read.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>0330507567</amazonuk>}}[[Newest Thrillers Reviews]]
