YA
After being beaten then abandoned by charismatic cult leader Brother Blue, fourteen-year-old Tula Bane, a Human (and therefore a lesser life form), must fend for herself on an isolated space station. Life as she knows it turns upside-down when three Human teenagers arrive. Castellucci's distant future setting is cleverly conceived and satisfyingly consistent in this riveting page-turner.
