'Pure' Julianna Baggott by James Francis 9FR

 

Pure takes place in an apocalyptic world with the main case being Pressia Belze. Pressia lives with her granddad (or who she thinks is her granddad) but soon he world turns upside down when genetically advanced people enter her world from the safety of their dome. She soon finds out that her real mother is out there only a fingertip away and clues have been left like bread crumbs. On her travels Pressia meets a series of people all mutated by the apocalypse. One man has birds fused to his back which flutter to show his current emotions. When she finds her granddad has been captured by the dome she is only more determined to find her mum and take them down.

Although the book seems to be slow starting off when the clues start to come together the book seems to be glued to your hand as hours fly by. Pure also requires some concentration to make sense of the surroundings and clues given. There is a sense of achievement when you work out a clue before the characters.
