Forbidden Books

Forbidden Books is an exciting and moving story about power, freedom, friendship and good and bad. The story is easy to read and the ending leaves you longing for the sequel. In the year 2116 CE, Earth is destroyed by a devastating tsunami. The survivors escape to the planet Kosna, where they build a new life—and start a new era: AED (After Earth Devastation). Nearly a thousand years later, humanity lives under domes, scattered across eleven planets. Every move is controlled. Every rule must be obeyed. Individuality is forbidden. On the planet Kosna, twelve-year-old Joset has never been good at following rules. She questions everything—even when it gets her into trouble. When Joset and her friend Hogan stumble upon a hidden settlement from the first colonists, they uncover something that was meant to stay buried: books. Books that challenge everything they’ve ever been taught. Suddenly, Joset is pulled into a secret resistance movement known as Freedom. Hogan is left behind, trapped by a family secret he cannot escape. As the distance between them grows, so does the danger. Because in a world built on control, the truth is the most dangerous thing of all. And when everything starts to fall apart, Joset is forced to ask herself one question: Who can you trust?
