If a picture is worth a thousand words then the cover of this book says it all - three images of the same girl. However 'she' turns out to be Ella, Betsey and Lizzie who are ... clones.To keep themselves safe from the authorities who have declared clone research illegal, they each get a third of the day outside the home as 'Elizabeth'. They have the system down pat, that is, until the possibility of having a boyfriend changes everything that they take for granted.
The original idea behind this book gets you thinking about needing to know who you are and who you want to become. Ella, Betsey and Lizzie may look the same but they hold fast to their different outlooks on life and their hopes for the future.
Who would enjoy this? If you enjoy thought-provoking stories, you'll want to add 'The Originals' to your book pile.
