Kid is a player in The Game. Her school is an old mall that the corporate sponsors have modified. Teens are the players in The Game. Their grades depend on how well they do, and if they can get branded by a sponsor. When a prank catches Kid’s interest she finds herself in the middle of something bigger than she ever expected.
This dystopian story is set in the not too distant future. Teenagers are only allowed to gather in The Game. The idea of the story is great: A future world where corporations have a captive audience in the teens that they claim to be educating. The amount of made up slang took away from the story. It messed with the flow and was distracting. Other than that the story is great. I felt empathy for the characters, and I recognized a lot of the teens who make high school fun and those who make it hell. The truth behind the mystery is revealed on page 267 and it’s like a slap in the face. I read it in a one sitting and enjoyed it. I recommend this book to people who liked the Scott Westerfeld Uglies series.
