Please, please, please let the future be the new trend in YA. (taking over from fantasy, vampires, pirates or chicklette-lit.)
Hot on the heels of Hunger Games & Catching Fire, comes Clone Codes A very intelligent, exciting look at how we try to backtrack after our experiments with cyborgs & clones go awry. Following the premise that we are bound to repeat history the story incorporates the ideals from key figures in the fight against slavery and constitutional discrimination. Great female lead, cool technology.
My other fav this season is Numbers - not really set in the future but rather timeless, and very realistic give the premise. A young girl deals with the fact that she can see the date of people's death when she looks into their eyes. It was very well presented in conference but they didn't warn me that the ending would make me cry.
There's more like Wolves of the Beyond and Lonely Hearts Club.
