Description: "Enjoyable, escapist fare that many readers will enjoy" --Kirkus Reviews "[A]likable protagonist and a juicy premise" --School Library Journal "Author S.A. Bodeen has laced this sci-fi-tinged page-turner with thoughtful commentary on world hunger, sustainability, biology and biomedical ethics, plus several high-speed chases and a believable budding romance, and the whole thing works like a charm."--BookPage Praise for S. A. Bodeen andThe Compound: "Bodeen turns out a high-wire act of a first novel, a thriller that exerts an ever-tighter grip on readers . . . The audience will feel the pressure closing in on them as they, like the characters, race through hairpin turns in the plot toward a breathless climax." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "Debut novelist Bodeen effectively builds the claustrophobic suspense with each chapter as readers slowly discover the Compound is not the refuge it seems. Combining elements of Margaret Peterson Haddix's Running Out of Time (1995) and Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go (2005), published for adults, this post-apocalyptic thriller will also pique the interest of Nancy Werlin and L.J. Adlington fans."--Booklist "Suspenseful and riveting, this debut novel raises serious issues about what it means to survive."--Kirkus Reviews
