About this title

Synopsis

Set in a world where everyone’s future is determined by their Genetic Report Card, a girl who’s always believed she was at the top of society finds out her score was based off someone else’s DNA in this “compelling, thought-provoking” (Kirkus Reviews) middle grade dystopian novel.

For as long as Mikayla can remember, her future has been laid out for her. As an Elite in a world divided by genetic Elites, Defectives, and Expendables, she’ll live up to her stellar Genetic Report Card score of ninety-four by excelling academically, gaining acceptance into the Elite Scholars program, and eventually working for GenIn, the company that saved humanity after the catastrophic Great Dying.

All seems to be going as planned until a surprise assignment during Mikayla’s class changes everything. Soon, she’s reconnecting with a friend she thought she’d lost forever and—for the first time in her life—questioning the society she has put her trust in.

But if Mikayla isn’t the model citizen she always believed herself to be, then who is she?

About the Author

Anna Monders holds an MFA in writing for children from Simmons University and an MS in earth and planetary sciences from MIT. According to her genetic report, she has Irish ancestry, is a preferred target for mosquitoes, and is most likely a night owl. The genetic report could not, however, predict that her life adventures would include serving in the Peace Corps in Gabon, conducting biogeochemistry fieldwork in the Arctic, teaching in a one-room off-the-grid schoolhouse, and presenting high-energy book talks to kids across southern Oregon.
