A futuristic eco-thriller about Ellie, a kidnapped child warrior determined to free herself--and free the planet. Listen: Can you hear THE ROAR? Answer the call of the wild!Mika and Ellie live in a future behind a wall: Solid concrete topped with high-voltage razor wire and guarded by a battalion of Ghengis Borgs, it was built to keep out the animals, because animals carry the plague. At least that's what Ellie, who was kidnapped as a child, has always been taught. But when she comes to suspect the truth behind her captivity, she's ready to risk exposure to the elements and answer the call of the wild. Listen. Can you hear it? She's strapping on her headset, jumpstarting her Pod Fighter, and--with her capuchin monkey at her back--she's breaking out!

The sheer scope of the novel was amazing, and I loved the twist at the ending because oh boy you knew shit was gonna go down in the second book after that.

2 12 stars. Interesting idea. I got bored pretty frequently though. I wanted more than what I got about the characters. Some of the events were a little too unbelieveable. Also, why haven't we, as a race in these futuristic books, realized that virtual games are always dangerous in some way and that...
Audiobook comments at the endI want to preface this by saying that the book is aimed for kids in grades 5-8 and it definitely felt more juvenile than young adult. There are explanations that are repeated throughout the book to facilitate the young reader and the prose definitely has a juvenile feel ...
