    "Visionary. This book should be in every reader's hands." JACQUELINE WOODSON, National Book Award-winning author of Brown Girl DreamingYoung heroes decide that they are not too young or too powerless to change their world in this gripping, futuristic young adult novel by the New York Times bestselling author of the Printz Awardwinning Monster. It is 2035. Teens, armed only with their ideals, must wage war on the power elite. Dahlia is a Low Gater: a sheep in a storm, struggling to survive completely on her own.

And the C-8, a consortium of giant companies, control global access to finance, media, food, water, and energy resourcesand they are only getting bigger and even more cutthroat. Dahlia, a computer whiz, joins forces with an ex-rocker, an ex-con, a chess prodigy, an ex-athlete, and a soldier wannabe. Their goal: to sabotage the C-8.
