Publisher's Synopsis
We run. We hide. And if that fails, we run and hide some more. We don't fight back. Not ever. Alex Wade never dreamed he'd be a fugitive at sixteen. He knew better; he knew not to fight back. No one ever fights back. Alex is a scrounger, the lowest of the low in a society where class means everything. Because in the world of the Enclave, being a scrounger means more than just being on the streets - it means being hunted, tracked by the sadistic wranglers, your fate broadcast on reality TV for all to see. When Alex becomes the first scrounger ever to fight back against the Wranglers, the echoes of his brazen act of defiance ripple throughout the Enclave. After his own family is wrangled, Alex must do whatever is necessary to rescue them from the nightmarish Aid Areas, cabal-controlled slums where the poor are forced to fight and kill to survive. It's a mission that will bring him up against seemingly insurmountable odds, forcing him to confront not only the wranglers, but the cruel and corrupt leaders of the Enclave itself.
