An Engrossing Young Adult Fiction

It’s 2050 and overpopulation has changed the world as we know it – food is being rationed, deadly viruses are spreading and one teenage girl is beginning to uncover some dangerous secrets…Take a look at today’s hot new young adult novel and our feature book, Ravenous (Ancestry 1) by Heidi Loney.

A Brief Synopsis of Ravenous:

In 2050, the government introduces the Food Crisis Act—new measures for growing and rationing food.  Calla Ryan is your average teen, except for enduring hunger every day of her life. New sensors at her school determine that she exceeds the weight limit of the State, and send her north to a “fat camp” or re-education centre.
At the centre Calla begins to uncover dark secrets. Her counselor dies mysteriously, and new shipments of recruits are the picture of health. Finally, Calla becomes a guinea pig for a dangerous lab experiment. To make matter worse, a virus that began overseas has now made its way to the Americas with deadly consequences.
Calla must run from her captors, escaping to the far north with help from the facility’s chef and fellow inmates Billy and Madge. And to complicate things, the infected are very hungry.
