"Despite her dreams of becoming a bioengineer, Phaet enlists in the military at the age of 15. Life on the Moon's human colony is brutally divided among the have and have-nots, and after her mother is detained by the controlling Lunar government, Phaet has no choice but to join the highly competitive Militia if she wants to keep her siblings out of the slums. Similar to The Hunger Games and Divergent trilogies, this intriguing dystopian series opener (by 19-year-old author Karen Bao) offers pulse-pounding action, a touch of romantic drama, and a heroine who's willing to do whatever it takes to save her loved ones."
