In a
future United States under the power of a charismatic leader, everyone gets the
Mark at age thirteen. The Mark lets citizen shop, go to school, and even get
medical care--but without it, you're on your own. Few refuse to get the Mark.
Those who do . . . disappear.
Parents
are looking for fiction that makes Christianity exciting for kids. This series
is an alternative to the Hunger Games series and other dark dystopian fiction.
It's packed with action and intrigue, but the message is written from a
Christian worldview.
Logan
Langly went to get his Mark but backed out at the last minute. Ever since, he's
been on the run from government agents and on a quest to find his sister Lily,
who disappeared when she went to get her Mark five years ago. His journey leads
him to befriend the Dust, a network of Markless who oppose the iron-grip rule
of the government. On the way to the capital to find Lily, the Dust receive
some startling information from the Markless community, warning that humanity
is now entering the End of Days.
"Spark"
introduces nine-year-old Ali, a beggar living in the Dark Lands city of
al-Balat. Ali meets a stranger who gives her his tablet, a portal to a tech
world that Ali never knew existed. But one day, the tablet begins to
communicate "back" to her--and takes her on a journey that will cross
her path with exiled Logan Langly, Chancellor Cylis, and the fierce battle for
power that spans reality and the virtual world.
So as I was making this post I realized that this book has
already been released! I read the first one from the library because I had
gotten the 2nd for review from NetGalley. I also ended up getting the third and
have been waiting to read this one! I didn’t see it on NetGalley this time
around. I will have to go request this from the library now!!
Here are my reviews of the first three if you would like to check them out
Have
