Genre: Science Fiction
This fall, six new students are joining the junior class at the elite Darkwood Academy. But they aren't your regular over-achieving teens. They're DNA duplicates, and these "similars" are joining the class alongside their originals.
The Similars are all anyone can talk about. Emmaline Chance could care less. Her best friend, Oliver, died over the summer and it's all she can do to get through each day without him. Then she comes face-to-heartbreaking-face with Levi, Oliver's exact DNA copy and one of the Similars.
I read this book because it was recommended by a colleague. I enjoyed it immensely. I would very much like to read the second book in the series. The characters were compelling. The story moved along nicely. There was just the right amount of twists and turns. I recommend this book to middle and high school students.
