by Teri Terry (Author)
In the second installment of the dystopian Slated trilogy, Kyla's forgotten past begins to intrude on a disturbing future that is starting to feel all too real.
"One of the most brilliant, mind-blowing, clever books I have ever read . . . Amazing. Absolutely amazing."--The Guardian "The romance and politics keep [the] suspense ratcheted up. . . . Intriguing--readers will be on tenterhooks for the next one."--Kirkus Reviews
In a world full of danger, who can you trust? Ever since she woke up in the hospital with her memory erased, Kyla has been different from other Slateds, questioning things she shouldn't. And now something has cracked open inside her: Fragments of memories show she's capable of violence, and might have done anything before she was Slated. Kyla longs to find out what happened to her Slated friend Ben, but the Lorders won't hand over the information she so desperately wants without a price. Caught in the middle of a tug-of-war between dangerous adversaries, Kyla must work out where she stands before it is too late. In a world that seeks to control her, every move is a gamble, and nothing--not even her own memories--can be trusted.Author Biography
Teri Terry has lived in France, Canada, Australia and England at more addresses than she can count, acquiring four degrees, a selection of passports and a silly name along the way.
Moving constantly as a child, teenager and also as an adult has kept Teri on the outside looking in much of her life. It has given her an obsession with characters like Kyla in Slated, who don't belong or find themselves in unfamiliar places. Teri recently left her job with Buck's libraries in England to write full-time and complete her research MA on the depiction of terrorism in recent young adult dystopian literature. In the UK Slated won the North East Teenage Book Award, the Leeds Book Award, the Angus book award, the Portsmouth Book Award, the Rotherham book award and the Rib Valley Book Award, and is shortlisted for many others. It was the most voted for YA title in the 2012 international Edinburgh Book Festival Anobii First Book Award. In the US it is a Junior Library Guild selection.
