So she’s sent off to something called “The Wheel” which pretty much is described as where they send all the worst criminals and the people who are most likely to become one. (that has never happened in a dystopian ever). She lives in an orphanage because her parents were taken when she was a kid, and one day she goes to take this test, which will kind of peel out the bad seeds and she fails. which is pretty much a bunch of countries made into one. I mean, we get to know Alenna, who lives in the U.N.A. I ordered it not long ago, and then I picked it out of my TBR-box, which made me pick this book, obviously. I believe it first showed up on my goodreads account as a recommendation, and since I love dystopia I figured I’d give it a go.

My Edition: A Paperback from Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, published in 2012, with 375 pages. Survival may seem impossible, but Alenna is determined to achieve it anyway. Desperate, she and the other prisoners concoct a potentially fatal plan to flee the island. The life expectancy of prisoners on The Wheel is just two years, but with dirty, violent, and chaotic conditions, the time seems a lot longer as Alenna is forced to deal with civil wars for land ownership and machines that snatch kids out of their makeshift homes. But Alenna can’t help but stand out when she fails a test that all sixteen-year-olds have to take: The test says she has a high capacity for brutal violence, and so she is sent to The Wheel, an island where all would-be criminals end up.

(the super-country that was once Mexico, the U.S., and Canada), Alenna learned at an early age to blend in and be quiet-having your parents taken by the police will do that to a girl.
