SYNOPSIS: Alina, Quinn and Bea live in a time when the world has very little oxygen. Everyone lives in pods, where they pay for the privilege of breathing. Only the wealthy can afford to do strenuous activity or buy tanks to leave the pod. When Alina has to run from the authorities, Quinn and Bea get entangled in her fight to make a better future.
AUNT SHARON'S TAKE: I thought this would be a fun adventure story, but in the end, I felt it was a bit heavily weighted on the environmentalism side. Also, I felt the story was a bit weak, with too much drama, and oversimplified characters. That being said, I'm sure other readers would enjoy the dystopian story. For content, there was some sexual references and language, and violence. I would recommend it for older readers.
