I'm so excited to have the blog tour for Daniel Sweren-Becker's The Ones stop by today! I've been excited for this one for months--and it's out today! I know what I've got to share with you will whet your appetite, so you should absolutely head and out get yourself a copy ASAP. But, I've also got a giveaway for my friends in the US, so stick around and enjoy! :)
About The Ones:
Cody has always been proud of being a One. She and her boyfriend James were two of the lucky babies from the 1% of the U.S. population that were randomly selected to benefit from genetic engineering. Now, she and the rest of The Ones are excelling. They are healthy, beautiful, and talented. They aren't otherworldly, just perfect. And to some, that's not fair. The Equality Movement, capitalizing on the growing fear and jealousy, gains political traction and actually outlaws their existence. Society shows its darker side as The Ones are marginalized. The line between right and wrong blurs in the face of injustice and Cody becomes closer to a group of radical Ones intent on fighting back. James begins to fear just how far she is willing to go for the cause.
