Lush is the latest book by S.L. Baum and it is the story of a girl just about to graduate from school, or Training Tech as it is called in Concord.  So what makes this book different from any other high school story?  Well in Concord people are expected to blindly follow the  leaders and never, ever question what they decide is best for society.  This is the lesson that Bluebell and her friends have been taught for the last 12 years at school.  Now is the time for them to be branded as citizens of Concord and to find out what their role will be in society.Lush kept me engaged from the moment I read the first chapter.  It is not a dark book but it certainly gives you a lot to think about in terms of how much power and authority should a society give to their leaders in order to secure a "peaceful" society.Lush is the first in a series of books and it does end on a cliffhanger.  I can't wait for the next book in this series.  The world and society that S.L. Baum has created is unique and fascinating.
