The Forsaken (novel)
The Forsaken is the first novel of a trilogy written by Lisa M Stasse which was published on 10 July 2012 〔http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12987192-the-forsaken/ - book review〕 by Simon & Schuster.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12987192-the-forsaken )〕 It is centered on and narrated by sixteen-year-old Alenna Shawcross, an orphan from UNA (United Northern Alliance) which is a merger of Canada, the United States and Mexico after a global economic meltdown. The novel, which is set in the present tense, follows Alenna as she learns to survive on Prison Island Alpha - an island where the government sends teenagers who fail the GPPT (Government Personality Profile Test).
==Plot==
As an obedient orphan of the U.N.A. (the super-country that was once Mexico, the U.S., and Canada), Alenna learned at an early age to blend in and be quiet — having your parents taken by the police will do that to a girl. But Alenna can’t help but stand out when she fails a test that all sixteen-year-olds have to take: The test says she has a high capacity for brutal violence, and so she is sent to The Wheel, an island where all would-be criminals end up.
The life expectancy of prisoners on The Wheel is just two years, but with dirty, violent, and chaotic conditions, the time seems a lot longer as Alenna is forced to deal with civil wars for land ownership and machines that snatch kids out of their makeshift homes. Desperate, she and the other prisoners concoct a potentially fatal plan to flee the island. Survival may seem impossible, but Alenna is determined to achieve it anyway ...〔http://www.lisamstasse.com/blog1/the_forsaken_by_lisa_m_stasse/ - official website of author〕
