YA
After nearly dying in a suicide bombing, K is recruited to infiltrate the Brotherhood, the (presumably responsible) minority group. As she bonds with her new schoolmates and experiences life as a "Hood," she begins to question their vilification. Gripping paranoia propels a suspenseful plot, but the provocative allegory suffers from minimal cultural and historical context for the Citizen-Brotherhood conflict.
