This is a story for young pre-teen boys in the main, although some girls will also like it.
This is a science fiction book for kids, it is fun, fast paced and enjoyable.
The main character’s, best friends Hector and Standish live in zone Seven, they are kept here by the motherland so they can be kept under surveillance by others like them.
When their football goes over a wall into a restricted area they decide to retrieve it despite the risks. This leads to a secret, threatening levels of change and the need to make an ultimate stand.
A thought provoking read of could happen in a dystopian society.
Can friendship and trust help the boys to win through?
An excellent book for this age group which I really enjoyed as well.
