Breathe: Volume 1
Información sobre este eBook
National Book Award Finalist Kathleen Duey called Breathe "An amazing story! Sit down. Inhale. Now, while you still can." Ever since the Switch, when the oxygen levels plummeted and most of humanity died, the survivors have been protected in glass domes full of manufactured air. Protected . . . or trapped? Or controlled? Alina's a revolutionary who believes we can save the environment. Quinn's a Premium who's never had to worry about having enough air. His best friend, Bea, is an Auxiliary who's never worried about anything but having enough air. When the three cross paths, they will change everything. Sarah Crossan's thrilling and provocative novel is about passion, about yearning for something better, and about breaking free for the very first time. The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books proclaims it an "action-packed dystopian series opener to watch out for."
But what happens when a revolutionary, a privileged boy, and a girl fighting to survive are forced to trust one another outside the dome?
- Multiple POV: Experience this gripping story through the eyes of Alina, the rebel; Quinn, the Premium; and Bea, the Auxiliary, as their paths collide.
