Awaken by Katie Kacvinsky

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I thoroughly enjoyed this read! The first in a series by Katie Kacvinsky this is the story of `17 year old Maddie living in the 2060s in a digitized United States. Desperate for some face-to-face human contact she ventures out to a rare in-person tutoring session after chatting online with a boy from the group. Little does she know how this decision will change her life. She is drawn into the world of the underground revolution against the Digital School which has became mandatory across the country. To make matters even more difficult, Maddie's father happens to lead the Digital School. She now has a choice to make; remain loyal to the Digital School and her father, or join in the revolution to revive the face-to-face world.

Interesting and fun read! Fans of Ally Condie's Matched and Veronica Roth's Divergent will probably like this one. It is a little disturbing to think about how easily the isolated digital world Kacvinsky describes could become a reality. All in a all, a great beginning to a new series from a first-time author. A must-add to a high school or public library collection!
