Near-future England. A country under lockdown. The government tracks everyone. Jake has escaped from his Academy orphanage, and rescued his dog, Jet. He only has one goal: to get out of the country. When the Outwalkers gang grabs them, Jake realises that together they might have a chance to succeed. But the Outwalkers are being hunted too, and danger is closing in...

Outwalkers

No one can get into Scotland, just like no one can cross the channel. England is under the control of an authoritarian regime. They can track anyone, anywhere from a chip implanted in their skin. But Jake, who breaks out of the Academy dorm he's been housed in, has decided to escape. To go off-grid. To join a small group of independent spirits determined to keep out of the government's prying eyes. The Outwalkers. It's only together he'll be able to reach Scotland-and safety.

While overall I did enjoy this book I found there were a few niggles I had with it which stopped me being completely in love with it. Some of the characters behaviour frustrated me and at times things were a little too convenient. The plot was good, I liked the idea of it and it made me want to keep reading. It was well written but the lack of speechmarks definitely made it confusing at times. 3 and a half stars for me.
