FOR FANS OF THE HUNGER GAMES, THE GIVER, AND UGLIES"I could not put it down... Little Mice creates a universe every bit as rich and haunting as Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale or Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, while also reminiscent of Lois Lowry's The Giver or George Orwell's 1984.""If you are a fan of dystopian sci-fi and liked The Handmaid's Tale, Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, or The Hunger Games, this is for you." Each citizen must contribute to society. If a citizen fails to find a suitable objective, one will be assigned.In the Canopy Complex, no one grows old. Age is for the little mice, the donors far below who bleed so the privileged can thrive. Seventeen-year-old Astra Fairwood has never questioned the system. Why would she? As the daughter of the Chief Enforcer, her future is secure–a life of parties and privilege. Until everything is taken from her.Cast out of the Canopy and condemned to the Donor Zone, Astra is forced into the very world she was raised to fear. She meets a girl who challenges everything she thought she wanted and soon learns the Canopy taught her to fear the wrong thing. The real threat was never the Zone.With tensions rising and the people she loves most in danger, Astra must choose between the life she was promised and the truth she can no longer ignore. Does a world built on the blood of others deserve to survive?
