<b>"Visionary. This book should be in every reader's hands." –JACQUELINE WOODSON, National Book Award-winning author of <i>Brown Girl Dreaming</i></b><br><br> <b>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 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the Printz Award–winning <i>Monster</i>.</b> <br>  <br> It is 2035. Teens, armed only with their ideals, must wage war on the power elite. <br>  <br> 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?<br>  <br> <b>AWARDS FOR WALTER DEAN MYERS:</b><br> <i>New York Times</i> Bestselling Author<br> 3-Time National Book Award Finalist<br> Michael L.
