Jed is the eldest, Maggie is the middle and Trig is the youngest. Maggie always feels like she is the worst. Jed gets all the privileges just for being the oldest. Their community sends the eldest off to camp to prepare for war when they turn 14. Jed and Lindi are heading off soon. In school they've been taught that "wanderers" are dirty, dangerous and deceitful. The Mayor has also informed them they are nearby and to report if they find any. Maggie encounters a girl in the woods who happens to be a wanderer and decides if she can "catch" her she will be a hero just like Jed. What she finds out though is that things are not always what they seem.
Great dystopian for middle grades. It was a little slow at first, but soon built up speed and then I couldn't put it down.
