Summary
Summary
The long-awaited new novel in the New York Times best-selling Darkest Minds series, now a major motion picture.
Five years after the destruction of the so-called rehabilitation camps that imprisoned her and countless other Psi kids, seventeen-year-old Suzume "Zu" Kimura has assumed the role of spokesperson for the interim government, fighting for the rights of Psi kids against a growing tide of misinformation and prejudice. But when she is accused of committing a horrifying act, she is forced to go on the run once more in order to stay alive.
Determined to clear her name, Zu finds herself in an uncomfortable alliance with Roman and Priyanka, two mysterious Psi who could either help her prove her innocence or betray her before she gets the chance. But as they travel in search of safety and answers, and Zu grows closer to the people she knows she shouldn't trust, they uncover even darker things roiling beneath the veneer of the country's recovery. With her future--and the future of all Psi--on the line, Zu must use her powerful voice to fight back against forces that seek to drive the Psi into the shadows and save the friends who were once her protectors.
From #1 New York Times best-selling author Alexandra Bracken comes a harrowing story of resilience, resistance, and reckoning that will thrill loyal fans and new readers alike.

Horn Book Review
Five years after the events of The Darkest Minds trilogy, tensions are rising around the reintegration of Psi kids into society. After a public event goes horribly wrong, Zu goes on the run with Roman and Priyanka, two mysterious Psi teens with secrets of their own. This fast-paced dystopian novel delves into very contemporary concerns of power and morality, with forthright conversations about how to effect social change. (c) Copyright 2019.

Booklist Review
Former rehabilitation-camp prisoner Suzume, Zu, is now a spokesperson for the post-President Gray government, but an attack at a speaking event puts Zu's Psi powers on full and scary display complete with casualties so she takes to the road with two unknown rescuers. Zu knows there's more to Roman and Priya than meets the eye, and eventually the three join familiar friends from the Darkest Minds series to try to bring down a corrupt company that is still stealing and torturing children. The story is fast-paced and engrossing, but readers will need the background from earlier entries in the series to keep track of characters and events and to understand the dire situation as it unfolds. Zu's first-person narration creates maximum suspense as events escalate in intensity, and an occasional flashback keeps the story off-balance in a way that ups the ante for the good guys. Although several threads are wrapped up by book's end, there is room for more installments in this popular series.--Cindy Welch Copyright 2018 Booklist
