About the book
In a world where people are farmed like cattle, 17-year-old Cara must learn what it means to be an animal if she is ever to feel human again...
"Amazing" — "Awesome" — "Brilliant" — "Outstanding" — "Thought-provoking"
I was just a typical sixteen-year-old from North London, when The Colonists arrived and turned our world upside down. They were so beautiful to look at, but They killed all the adults and most of the boys, and farmed us girls like cattle. A year on, I’m being kept as a pet by my teenage Colonist owner, Aggie. I’m safe for the moment, but I’ve been torn from my friends and family and had horrific experiences along the way…
It’s enough to get anyone down. But even though I’m locked in a cage and treated like an animal, They haven’t broken me. Somehow, I’ll escape and turn this around: not just for me, but for all of us.
My name’s Carabel Caffarelli from Highbury in England. And I’m about to show The Colonists what being human is all about.
