    About this audiobook

    Young heroes decide that they are not too young or too powerless to change their world in this gripping, futuristic young adult novel by the New York Times bestselling author of the Printz Award-winning Monster.

    It is 2035. Teens, armed only with their ideals, must wage war on the power elite.

    Dahlia is a Low Gater: a sheep in a storm, struggling to survive completely on her own. The Gaters live in closed safe communities, protected from the Sturmers, mercenary thugs. And the C-8, a consortium of giant companies, control global access to finance, media, food, water, and energy resources-and they are only getting bigger and even more cutthroat. Dahlia, a computer whiz, joins forces with an ex-rocker, an ex-con, a chess prodigy, an ex-athlete, and a soldier wannabe. Their goal: to sabotage the C-8. But how will Sayeed, warlord and terrorist, fit into the equation?

      Oh, how I wanted to like this book. A new Walter Dean Myers book? And a dystopian near future setting? It sounded so good!

      I couldn't force myself to finish it -- partly because the plot is so unbelievable -- ok, so you're getting some super smart kids together to change the world -- with you so far... but they're doing it by attending a conference? And somehow this attracts the attention of people who can change the world? Ok? But also the plot is plodding and the characters remain unlikable.
