K.M. Breakey hits one out of the park with this well-written futurist YA novel. It tells a heart-wrenching story of one young man's discovery of the realities of life in the year 2084. The short chapters flew by, propelled by the gripping story and the author's excellent ear for dialogue.Society in this not-so-distant future is divided into two classes, the Creator Class and the People's Class, and the world's population has been culled from 16 billion down to one billion in a series of already forgotten massacres known as The Great Transformation. The main character, Shawn, in a rare move by the governing elite, is snatched from his humdrum existence in the lower class and dropped right into the infinite privilege of the upper class. As you might imagine, his integration is anything but smooth.Readers who wanted more from The Hunger Games will devour The Creator Class, the first in what clearly promises to be an exciting series.
