From Alexandra Bracken comes a gripping dystopian sci-fi story about survival, dangerous abilities, and finding hope in a world that fears you.

Ruby was only ten years old when something about her changed. After surviving a mysterious disease that killed most of America’s children, she developed a frightening ability she could not understand or control. Terrified, her parents turned her over to the government, and Ruby was sent to Thurmond, a brutal “rehabilitation camp” for surviving children like her.

Years later, Ruby is still hiding the truth about how powerful she really is.

When she finally escapes Thurmond, she joins a group of other teens on the run, each with abilities of their own. Together, they search for a safe place and someone known as the Slip Kid, who may be able to offer protection in a world determined to control or destroy them.

But freedom is dangerous, trust is fragile, and Ruby must decide whether to keep hiding who she is or use her power to fight back.

Dark, emotional, and action-packed, The Darkest Minds explores fear, identity, friendship, and the strength it takes to survive when the world sees you as a threat.
