The Darkest Minds

On her tenth birthday, something changed in Ruby something so profound that her family locked her away in fear and handed her over to the authorities. Thus began Ruby’s life in Thurmond, a brutal government camp where a small number of surviving children are confined under the pretense of  healing.  A mysterious illness had wiped out children nationwide, but the survivors awakened with extraordinary yet uncontrollable powers. By the time Ruby turned sixteen, she was labeled one of the dangerous  ones.
When Ruby’s powers emerge, she is forced to escape the camp. Alongside other youths who have reclaimed their freedom Zu, haunted by his past; the clever yet distant Chubs; and the natural leader Liam she sets off on a perilous journey. But the  safe haven  they seek is far less secure than it seems. Ruby faces a crucial choice to merely survive or to truly live.
