Book Talk:
What would you do if your school was watching you 24/7? Would you care that you were on video camera and the corporate sponsors were using you and your classmates as market research? This is exactly what 15 year-old Katey (aka Kid) goes through everyday. As part of market research, the students are all part of the Game-- an alternative education system that encourages learning through video games. But everything seems to fall apart for Kid when she investigates a suicide prank by a group that calls themselves The Unidentified. With her investigation Kid finds herself warranting unwanted attention from the sponsors. What will she doe to make things different?

I really like science fiction mainly because it separates you from reality. You can be whoever you want to read. -Ashley
