Thirteen-year-old Trenton lives in Cove, an underground city that outlaws creativity, but he yearns to improve the technology his community needs to survive. When Trenton meets feisty Kallista, they begin to build a mysterious machine and learn the truth about Cove's origins. This dystopian novel doesn't go anywhere different, but middle-grade readers new to the genre may enjoy the ride.
