The Declaration by Gemma Malley
The Declaration is a book guaranteed to have you gripped from the first page. The first line of the book is provoking enough: "My name is Anna and I don't deserve to live. But I do."
The story is about a girl called Anna, who is living in a time when the elixir of life has been invented, and people are not allowed to have children. Anna is an 'illegal' child, so she must live in isolation and learn to become a 'valuable asset to modern society'. But then Peter arrives, with stories from the outside world, and Anna must decide how to feel about these suggestions made about her life. This book is a read that is rather hard to put down, and contains a lot of things. Hate, friendship, disgust, cruelty, hope, evil, despair and difficult situations, all crammed into 200 spellbinding pages. READ IT.
