In When We Wake, Tegan and Abdi revealed the government's plan to populate a new planet with cryogenically frozen slaves. Abdi begins narrating six months after their capture by the government. Like its predecessor, Run succeeds simply as a sci-fi thriller, but it's elevated by its social commentary, emphasizing the importance of fighting for justice in a world that has little of it.

Tegan wakes up to find that she's been cryogenically frozen for a century, and everyone she knows is long dead. But she bravely adjusts to her new reality, attending school, making friends, and learning new technology--until she finds herself in danger and on the run. This gripping dystopic novel creates a future that logically extends from the problems facing us today.

YA
The town of Summerton follows many happy traditions, but one is awful: each year a boy who spends New Year's Eve there will kill himself. Is this a tragic coincidence or is a serial killer on the loose? Told in the distinct voices of three friends, the story is a complex and well-wrought tale of suspense, grief, and possibly dark magic. Glos.

YA
Boarding school student Ellie becomes involved with the patupaiarehe--fairies who inhabited New Zealand before humans. Even as she's falling in love with one of them, Ellie is caught up in an effort to thwart neighboring patupaiarehe who are plotting the destruction of half of New Zealand. Vivid imagery gives this story some compelling sequences, and its plot surprises make it a quick read.
