Pure by Julianna Baggott

2013 Alex Award Winner!

Another book/movie about a dome.....

but this one is worth reading!

Pressia is outside the dome, forced to live with a doll fused into her hand. The detonations ruined life on Earth--humans are fused with objects or other people and sometimes are barely human.

Partridge is a privileged boy inside the Dome who dreams of finding his mother who is still outside. He's been upgraded, trained, and is physically pure--no defects are allowed inside the Dome.

The last communication between the Inside and Outside was:

We know you are here, our brothers and sisters.
We will, one day, emerge from the Dome
to join you in peace.
For now, we watch from afar, benevolently.

The Pures inside the Dome aren't perfect. In fact, they may have set off the Detonations themselves. Pressia and Partridge are thrown together in an often violent adventure to find answers about their parents and their governments. I really can't do this book justice in a review, but I can't wait for the second book in the series!

Recommended for fans of scifi, dystopia, Hunger Games
