Author: Ilima Todd
A future without family. Nine is the ninth female born in her batch of ten females and ten males. By design, her life in Freedom Province is without complications or consequences. However, such freedom comes with a price. The Prime Maker is determined to keep that price a secret from the new batches of citizens that are born, nurtured, and raised androgynously. But Nine isn’t like every other batcher. She harbors indecision and worries about her upcoming Remake Day—her seventeenth birthday, the age when batchers fly to the Remake facility and have the freedom to choose who and what they’ll be. When Nine discovers the truth about life outside of Freedom Province, including the secret plan of the Prime Maker, she is pulled between two worlds and two lives. Her decisions will test her courage, her heart, and her beliefs. Who can she trust? Who does she love? And most importantly, who will she decide to be?

Notes By Dave. Hi I am the owner of the Cardston Book Shop and wanted to mention a bit about this title. This is one of those books that really surprised me. A futuristic fantasy, Ilima Todd, wants us to look at the moral and family values in an "end from the begining" point of view. Her question is what might the world look like in the future if moral and family values continue to erode.
I was very impressed with this story and its ability reach youth in a non judgemental or preachy manor. I would recommend this book to almost any audience, even those not really interested in fantasy titles.
