Praise for Ally Condie's Matched Trilogy:
Even-and especially-when you think all is lost. But as she navigates the treacherous waters of the Serpentine and realizes there might be a traitor among her crew, she must also reckon with who she has become, who she wants to be, and the ways love can change and shape you. Poe has vowed to annihilate the river raiders who robbed her of everything two years ago. There is something Poe Blythe, the seventeen-year-old captain of the Outpost's last mining ship, wants far more than the gold they tear from the Serpentine River. Who do you become when you have nothing left to lose? Major components of the camp are exposure to the outdoors, including national parks, and a chance to see “As You Like It” at the Utah Shakespeare Festival.Seeking to avenge the murder of her true love while on a dredge ship searching for gold, fifteen-year-old captain Poe Blythe becomes the architect of new defenses designed to destroy her enemies. The nonprofit is about to host its inaugural writing camp for students ages 13 to 18. It's her favorite part of book tours, and it's one of the reasons she founded a nonprofit called the WriteOut Foundation (). … It's hard when you realize you can't ask the questions you have, the questions you didn't think to ask, when you realize you didn't even know them.”Ĭondie, a former English teacher, loves to be around children.
“What Cedar's mourning is not only the loss of him,” Condie said, “but she worries that she didn't know him in the way he needed to be known or to be seen. In ways, Condie said, they remain strangers even to those who love them the most. It's tough to form relationships with some autistic children. Condie did it because it adds another layer to Cedar's sadness. Rarely do books consider the loss of autistic children. Seeking answers to the mysteries draws her closer to Leo, the boy on the bike, but only as friends. Is he reaching out to her somehow? Could he possibly be alive? They're exactly the type of items her dead brother would've liked. The second mystery is more personal: Someone keeps leaving small gifts and trinkets on Cedar's windowsill. Even though she's dead now, people think she still comes to the festival … as a ghost. The first involves a possible haunting a famous Hollywood actress used to come to the Summerlost festival each year. The festival is fantastic enough, but things get really exciting when Cedar finds herself confronted by two mysteries. Curious, she follows him to the annual Summerlost festival, a huge celebration of all things related to William Shakespeare. Almost at once, Cedar spots a boy riding past on a bicycle, dressed in a peculiar costume.
The summer after the deaths, Cedar and her mother move into a house in the small town of Indian Creek.
