The Declaration
Anna is a Surplus, someone who shouldn't have been born. Everyone who is a Legal takes Longevity, a drug that makes people live forever, but if they have children, the world becomes over populated, so the government came up with a solution. No one who takes Longevity can have children, but if they do, they are put in prison, and their child becomes a Surplus, living only to serve, to cook and wash and organise the Legals lives. Anna is all set to become a Valuable Asset, to live down her parents decision, and become Useful, when along comes Peter the rulebreaking boy who swears he kows her parents, and that they love her, and want her back...
This book is one which caught me in its amazing plot surrounding this terrible distopia, where noone new can have a happy life, and the old live on forever, way outstaying their time with Mother Nature...
9/10
