Altered is an excellent read. I was drawn in from the very first  sentence.  Though this book is a YA, I feel all ages will enjoy it.  Ms  Gardener writes flawlessly, her words flowing and picturesque.The  tale is ingenious and very compelling; once I began the story, I just had  to finish it. Abbrey, the main character, is a spunky, witty girl and you  love her from the beginning, willing her to win. With all we are facing in  today's society, this book hits very close to home.  It really makes you  think.  What would you do if you were faced with a horrifying reality?Would you be able to stand against it, risking all to save those you love and humanity itself?I recommend this book to everyone.  It is truly agem.  I found myself feeling every emotion, just as the characters in the  book did.  I look forward to reading more from this very talented author.
