(Updating my records to review books I read before blogging and my activity here on Goodreads. Taken from reading notes. 7/22/21)

Another book that was suggested for an all-school read. This one has potential as it addresses issues of pollution, genetic engineering, poverty, friendship. It reminds me of Westerfeld's Uglies. I had a hard time making myself read it, however, and I doubt kids will persevere.
