When Allie Thompson graduated, she thought she'd put high school behind her. But when a series of violent outbreaks by teens sends panic surging through the nation, high school is right where Allie finds herself again. Now remolded into what the government calls The Academie, what was once the public school system is now the permanent home of everyone 22 and under. After a year away at college and a lifetime as a model student, Allie doesn't take well to The Academie's militaristic nature or its 16 foot perimeter fences. Remembering all she's left behind, including the boyfriend she's now years away from seeing again, Allie plummets into depression. But when strange things begin to happen and her brother disappears, Allie realizes she must unravel the mystery that is The Academie--before it's too late.The Academie presents life from the framework of a girl who, despite working hard and following the rules, finds herself locked away. The story is honest and emotional, delving into family, friendships, feelings of isolation, and the need to stand up for what is right. Along the way, readers experience a full range of emotions as they see view life from Allie's perspective—finding true love and having it taken away, dealing with parents that side with the system that locks you away, and finding friends to see you through when it feels like the world is collapsing in on you. More than your typical dystopia, The Academie will keep you guessing until the very end.* "A fantastic debut novel, capturing the romance of TWILIGHT and the fun of HARRY POTTER, wrapping it up into something wonderfully unique." --CN James, author of BONE MACHINE

War. Poverty. Hunger. Are over. Humankind hasn't changed, but the way we work has. Welcome to the brave new world of the Artificially Conscious Androlibra, a humanlike robot that acts like a personal clone, helping to bring balance to our lives. Grayson Cornel doesn't sleep much anymore. His life is in shambles. His father is teetering on death. He was recently promoted by The Libra Robotics and Cybernetics Corp, but his predecessor, Zoe Asher is wanted for murder and is now targeting him. On top of that, his first assignment in his new position has ended in disaster. The last of the world's sweatshops in Haiti had finally placed an order for Libra Corp robots, and it was Grayson's job to make sure that the order was filled. But when the robots arrived, something went horribly wrong. They disappeared, leaving only dead bodies in their wake. No Libra Corp robot had ever killed anyone before, so Grayson is sent to Haiti to figure out what went wrong. What he discovers begins to unravel a dark secret Libra Corp has been keeping from the public. Something so shocking that Grayson risks ending utopia to put a stop to it.
