(4) YA Illustrated by Sally Cantirino. In a highly stratified society, Lyla's educational aspirations are crushed when she's caught committing a petty crime and tattooed to mark her infraction. When offered the chance to have the Mark removed, Lyla agrees to infiltrate a rebel group but struggles with the betrayals and corruption she becomes party to. Interspersed comics-style episodes offer historical background on Lyla's world. The premise is familiar but engaging nonetheless.
