Unexpectedly, she discovers that something strange is going on with the Partials too--and that the survival of both humans and Partials will rely on whether the finds the right answers to her questions at a time when asking those questions can get her killed.

Liz's comments: A great read for those looking for a walk on the post-apocalyptic side. But be warned! This isn't an easy one, and it certainly best for readers 8th grade and up. Otherwise, it's a little too much like getting married: quite the long-term commitment!
