(3) YA Genetically engineered Pia is "perfect": she's fast, has impenetrable skin, and she's immortal. But she has never left the confines of her Amazon jungle compound. Escaping one day, she meets and falls in love with villager Eio and soon uncovers the alarming origins of her perfection. Khoury presents a fully realized protagonist in a disturbing world where science and humanity clash.
