Katey—known to everyone in her universe as Kidzero—is exactly what her screenname says she is: A nobody. She’s not really interested in what the corporations who run her school are promoting, and she might be even less interested in the kids they’re sponsoring. That’s right. In Katey’s hyper-branded, hyper-networked world, everything revolves around the marriage between corporate America and social networking (think Facebook on steroids). Everything, that is, until the creators of a fake suicide capture Katey’s imagination with their message of rebellion, and freedom from the Game. But can anyone challenge the Game and win? Katey will risk her social standing—and possibly her life—to find out.
Genre: Fiction (YA) Jenny’s rating (out of 5 stars): 4 You’ll like this book if: You’re worried about where American society is headed. You won’t like this book if: A cast of angsty, superficial teens living in a hyper-twitterized universe sounds unappealing.
