At seventeen years old, Janey is so unwilling to become a woman, she is slowly starving herself to death. And it is at the end of one summer that little Caitlin Jacob sees something so horrifying, so contradictory to the laws of the island, that she must share it with the others.īorn leader Janey Solomon steps up to seek the truth. With the adults indoors and the pubescent in Fruition, the children live wildly-they fight over food and shelter, free of their fathers' hands and their mothers' despair. But in the summer, the younger children reign supreme. They have children, who have children, and when they are no longer useful, they take their final draught and die. At the first sign of puberty, they face their Summer of Fruition, a ritualistic season that drags them from adolescence to matrimony. The daughters of these men are wives-in-training. Only the Wanderers-chosen male descendants of the original ten-are allowed to cross to the wastelands, where they scavenge for detritus among the still-smoldering fires. They built a radical society of ancestor worship, controlled breeding, and the strict rationing of knowledge and history. Years ago, just before the country was incinerated to wasteland, ten men and their families colonized an island off the coast. NEVER LET ME GO meets THE GIVER in this haunting debut about a cult on an isolated island, where nothing is as it seems.Ī New York Magazine best book of the month Lewis George Orwell Mary Pope Osborne LeUyen Pham Dav Pilkey Roger Priddy Rick Riordan J.
