Eliza is the middle of three royal children in a barren England during the year 2090. After her parents, the king and queen, have been killed by Cornelius Holister, Holister starts a revolution to overtake the government. He succeeds in kidnapping Eliza’s sister and brother, but Eliza escapes through the grace of a soldier named Wesley. After starving on the streets, Eliza joins Holister’s army in the attempt to find food, shelter and her siblings, but what she finds there sets her on a course to save her country.
This is a fast paced, action packed story where I found myself hoping that the heroine would win. The content of the book is clean enough for a middle school with the violence being mostly war violence. This book can stand on its own with a satisfying enough ending, but there is going to be another book which I’m excited to read.
