Breathe / Sarah Crossan



Breathing is something you should be able to take for granted. But in Alina, Bea and Quinn's world where all of the trees have been destroyed, oxygen is rationed. If you are a Premium you can buy more, if you are an Auxiliary then life is a struggle. But living outside the Pod are the dissenters who are proving that trees can grow again, and that everyone could have a choice about where they live.
Considering that there is not enough oxygen to go around, this book moves along at a fast pace! The author has created a world that is believable enough that you'll find yourself taking a deep breath, just because you can! It is thought-provoking as well as engrossing.

Who would enjoy this? Readers who like dystopian and post-apocalyptic stories will be able to add this to their book pile. Also if you like to hear a story from different narrators you will appreciate hearing this story told from Alina, Bea and Quinn's viewpoints.
