Spectacle

Avatar meets Gladiator in this spellbinding Young Adult, Science-Fiction series by bestselling author S.J. Pierce. Two hundred years after the Great Disaster, the day earthquakes ravaged Earth's landscapes, humanity has finally regrouped and is working toward a better future. But in New America - one of three remaining landmasses - overpopulation makes a better future seem bleaker by the year. Mira (Mirabella) Foster and her parents are citizens of New America, and with the threat of starvation and disease looming on the horizon, a discovery threatens to push everyone to the brink of chaos: blue markings develop on people's skin. Markings that allow them to camouflage, but also make them feared, and eventually, targets of violence. Mira's dad is one of them. Spectacle, Part One is the beginning of a three-part series. Suitable for ages fourteen and up.
