Teen Librarian Jocelyn Recommends:

In a world where your status and wealth is dependent on your social credits (social media followers), Emerson and her family are dirt poor. In fact, they live in the underground slums called the Burrows. Her father attempts to gain a following while abandoning Emerson and her younger brother, who is deaf. Emerson attempts to support the family by breaking in to the school she can no longer afford to attend. She is caught and after a deadly accident at the school, is facing serious prison time. She is given a chance by the unnamed producer to instead join a reality show to win her freedom. She reluctantly agrees to join the show, and it is more dangerous than she could have ever imagined! This fast-paced and exciting horror/survival is perfect for fans of the Hunger Games and other fans of the dystopian survival genre.
