In the tradition of M. T. Anderson's Feed and Scott Westerfeld's Uglies, this heart-pounding sequel to Unplugged continues the series that Kass Morgan, New York Times bestselling author of The 100, called "chilling and addictive." Skylar Cruz found her sister in the Real World-only to learn that her sister has betrayed her and put everyone in the App World in danger. The Body Market is now open for business and everyone still plugged into the App World is for sale. Shaken by the betrayal of everyone she trusted, Skylar is through being a pawn. She may be the only one who can stop what her family started. And she has to do it before the App World runs out of time.

Praise for UNPLUGGED: "Ambitious and thought-provoking." -- Kirkus Reviews "Chilling and addictive, UNPLUGGED will change the way you look at the world ...and how you look at yourself." -- Kass Morgan, New York Times bestselling author of The 100 "A fast-paced series opener. An expectations-defying heroine, a world facing drastic change, and an impossible love triangle." -- Publishers Weekly "The first book of an exciting dystopian sci-fi series. An intriguing tale with diverse characters. This work will appeal to gamers and to those who enjoyed Dan Wells's Bluescreen or M.T. Anderson's Feed." -- School Library Journal "A mix of political thriller, social commentary, and futuristic popular culture. Try this with M.T. Anderson's Feed or go retro with William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson's Logan's Run while waiting for the sequel." -- ALA Booklist "A fast-paced, plot-driven dystopian story that explores the interconnectivity between beauty, commercialism, race, and technology. Thought-provoking, relevant, and promising. Pacing is excellent with lots of action, twists, and turns." -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) Praise for THE SURVIVAL KIT: "As fragile and lovely as a rose." -- Jenny Han, bestselling author of The Summer I Turned Pretty series Praise for THE POSSIBILITIES OF SAINTHOOD: "Behold: A rare bloom of a book ... THE POSSIBILITIES OF SAINTHOOD, while never gloomy or dogmatic, is a literary work of mercy. Let us rejoice and be glad." -- Gregory Maguire, bestselling author of WICKED Praise for THIS GORGEOUS GAME: "A remarkable book that will speak not just to teens, but to women of all ages." -- Sara Zarr, author of National Book Award finalist STORY OF A GIRL
