Jennifer Nielsen is one of my favorite authors. Several years ago, she wrote the Ascendance Trilogy which I adore. This is a stand-alone book, which is rare these days. It is a story of a disease that is tearing through a kingdom. When Ani is infected, she is taken to an island into isolation with other victims. What she find is worse than the disease. I loved Ani: a brave and sassy girl. This fast-paced adventure story has friendship, betrayal, and courage. But at its heart, it makes us think of tragic times in history when man was judged by where they lived or what they believed. It speaks of courage to break down those barriers and to see all men as equal and do away with stereotypes that separate. (FIC NIE)
