The Darkest Minds - Alexandra Bracken

The Darkest Minds - Alexandra Bracken

They were never scared of the kids who might die, or the empty spaces they would leave behind. They were afraid of us — the ones who lived - Alexandra Bracken

If you could have any power what would it be? Every power is classed under a colour.
Intelligence    -  Green
Teleportation -  Blue
Electricity      -  Yellow
Mind control  - Orange
Fire                - Red

But there is a catch if you have the power of electricity, mind control, or fire you are sentenced to death.

Ruby was normal. Until one day when it all changed, she woke up on her tenth birthday to find her parents didn't know who she was. Why?

What happens when Ruby is classed under green but is really an orange? Will she be able to escape death?

 I would recommend this book to people that like dystopian books. It's very adventurous, however, I would warn you that there is some violence and coarse language.
