Fans of Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, Veronica Roth's Divergent and Marie Lu's Legend should flock to this well-written debut effort by 19-year-old Bao." -School Library Journal "Until just recently, the number of formidable young adult authors who got published before they were out of their teens was extremely small: Christopher Paolini and Isamu Fukui. I loved the story, and I can't wait to read more!" - Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of Eragon "Newcomer Bao's off-world setting and world-building details are intriguing."- Publishers Weekly "Characters are well developed, especially strong-willed Phaet, and an even pace will keep teens turning pages. Dove Arising marks the debut of a promising new talent. Beautiful prose and one of the most interesting main characters I've read. "Karen Bao is an incredibly talented young writer.
Suspenseful, intelligent, and hauntingly prescient, Dove Arising stands on the shoulders of our greatest tales of the future to tell a story that is all too relevant today. Until Phaet's logically ordered world begins to crumble. Rank high, save her siblings, free her mom- athat's the plan. Training is brutal, but it's where Phaet forms an uneasy but meaningful alliance with the preternaturally accomplished Wes, a fellow outsider.
The only way to save her younger siblings from the degrading Shelter is by enlisting in the Militia, the faceless army that polices the Lunar bases and protects them from attacks by desperate Earth dwellers. She cultivates the plants in Greenhouse 22, lets her best friend talk for her, and stays off the government's radar. She's barely spoken since her father died in an accident nine years ago. Fans of Ender's Game aand The Maze Runner will love this smart sci-fi debut and its sequel, Dove Exiled ! Phaet Theta has lived her whole life in a colony on the Moon.
