September's Featured Book - Slated by Teri Terry

Coming Soon to EHMS Library Learning Commons

Kyla has been Slated—her memory and personality erased as punishment for committing a crime she can’t remember. The government has taught her how to walk and talk again, given her a new identity and a new family, and told her to be grateful for this second chance that she doesn’t deserve. It’s also her last chance—because they’ll be watching to make sure she plays by their rules.
 
Lexile: HL530L
