With the help of a rogue teacher, 1124562 discovers that there's more to Adaline than the Machines controlling him. A hidden world resides in his mind; one that he can control simply by using his imagination. But when another Boy suddenly escapes the pod, all of Adaline begins to hunt for anyone with an anomaly.
When 1124562 finds himself trapped in the clutches of a deranged doctor, he realizes just how dangerous being different can be. Fans of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and Lois Lowry's The Giver will enjoy this exploration of the human condition through the eyes of a clone. Views: 533
