Rosi must decide what sheโs willing to risk to save her familyโand maybe even all of humanityโin the thrilling first novel of a new trilogy from New York Times bestselling author, Margaret Peterson Haddix.
For the past twelve years, adults called โFredsโ have raised Rosi, her younger brother Bobo, and the other children of their town, saying it is too dangerous for them to stay with their parents, but now they are all being sent back. Since Rosi is the oldest, all the younger kids are looking to her with questions she doesnโt have the answers to. Sheโd always trusted the Freds completely, but now sheโs not so sure.
And their home is nothing like sheโd expected, like nothing the Freds had prepared them for. Will Rosi and the other kids be able to adjust to their new reality?
