The Darkest Minds ~ Alexandra Bracken


This book is dripping with excitement and fantasy. Ruby lives in a world where children are dying a mysterious death. Those children that live are viewed as dangerous. Is it a curse or a gift? Are you a green, yellow, orange or the very worst a red? Find out!

They took the surviving students and placed them into schools for "Rehabilitation". Ruby ends up at Thurmond a cruel school that brutalized its children. She befriends a person there with her help they scantly get out alive. She sets out on her own to find the promise land, East River. It is the Promised Land for children with "abilities."

Ruby's ability is one of the most dangerous and she can't control it. Anyone near her could be in danger and if they find out they will fear her. She meets a small group of children being led by Liam. They too are looking for East River. She dangerously deceives the group making them believe she is not who she really is. Then he falls and she fears what might happen.


In this action filled story you have the protagonist, Ruby with her friends and enemies along with her internal struggles. You meet friends along with their abilities and difficulties. You will pick, choose and then be surprised at the outcome. The character building is amazing.
