ABSTRACT
When Ruby woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed. Something frightening enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that got her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government “rehabilitation camp.” She might have survived the mysterious disease that had killed most of America’s children, but she and the others emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they could not control.
Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones. When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. She is on the run, desperate to find the only safe haven left for kids like her—East River. She joins a group of kids who have escaped their own camp. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can’t risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents. When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at having a life worth living.

SINOPSIS
Cuando Ruby despierta en su décimo cumpleaños, algo en ella ha cambiado. Algo lo suficientemente alarmante como para que sus padres la encierren en el garaje y llamen inmediatamente a la policía buscando ayuda. Ha sucedido. Un fenómeno inexplicable le ha arrancado de la vida que siempre ha conocido, y la ha repudiado a Thurmond, el escalofriante campo de rehabilitación del gobierno donde se destinan a los supervivientes. Ruby no ha sucumbido a la misteriosa enfermedad que ha aniquilado a la mayoría de niños de Estados Unidos, pero ella y los demás prisioneros se han convertido en algo mucho peor: porque han desarrollado poderosas habilidades mentales que no pueden controlar.

Review: "Amor y asco" by Srta Bebi


Title: Amor y asco
Publisher: Frida
Year: 2016
Pages: 232
ISBN-13: 9788494567674
Price: 13,30€
Mark: 10/10

SYNOPSIS
Bebi. And your Twitter account. One of the most influential anonymous accounts in the whole country. All an authentic generational heroine.

Peek at the edge of their emotional cliffs is an act as brave as suicidal and socially irreverent at the same time. That's why I know that what I have in my hands today (and surely for many of you) is not exactly a book.

It is another very different thing.
