Off the Road

â€œGive this to fans of Lowryâ€™s The Giver.â€â€”Booklist
Â
It is the year 2035, and kids are the only ones who matter.
Â
In Tomâ€™s world, every family has only one child. â€œBrotherâ€ and â€œsisterâ€ are insults. And the Oldies, like Gandyâ€”Tomâ€™s grandfatherâ€”are taken away to Memory Theme Parks. On the way to the Theme Park, Gandy escapes into the Wild Wood, the dangerous world outside their walled city. Tom has no choice but to follow. The wilderness is like nowhere heâ€™s ever been before, and the more he learns at Gandyâ€™s side, the more he wonders: Is the wall meant to keep the Outsiders out, as heâ€™s been taught in schoolâ€”or the Insiders in?
Â
â€œNina Bawdenâ€™s skill is placing a set of vibrant characters in a compelling plot seasoned with cold reality, the warmth of enduring relationships, and moral ironies.â€â€”Kirkus Reviews
