ReviewsFor Hungry :"Swain's near-futuristic dystopia explodes onto this well-trod genre with a fresh idea, tense plotting, and relatable characters. . . . Fans of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and Lois Lowry's The Giver will flock to this story." - School Library Journal "Amid the array of YA dystopian romance available, Swain stands out for sheer clamor... The plot unfolds in fairly predictable ways, but the sensation-saturated world that Swain describes gives the story fresh interest." - Publishers Weekly "An alluring adventure in a future without food... a page-turner." - Kirkus Reviews

SynopsisAn entitled boy whose talents are bought meets a girl whose gifts are natural in this futuristic thriller from the author of Hungry ., Thriller. Love story. Social experiment. In Orpheus Chanson's world, geniuses and prodigies are no longer born or honed through hard work. Instead, procedures to induce Acquired Savant Abilities (ASAs) are now purchased by the privileged. And Orpheus's father holds the copyright to the ASA procedure. Zimri Robinson, a natural musical prodigy, is a "plebe"--a worker at the enormous warehouse that supplies an on-line marketplace that has supplanted all commerce. Her grueling schedule and her grandmother's illness can't keep her from making music--even if it is illegal. Orpheus and Zimri are not supposed to meet. He is meant for greatness; she is not. But sometimes, rules are meant to be broken.
