My Review of Prismatic by Sarah Elle Emm

Prismatic by Sarah Elle Emm

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This is story is set in the future. The United States is the United Zones of Authority. The country has been divided up into zones. Each zones is split into smaller zones for each race and then one for mixed race. The mixed race zones and the worst and the worst of the worst is the Indie-mixed race zone. This is the zone in which the story takes place. Everyone has to work even the kids. The parents have to work 12hrs shifts and the kids work half days. They start working at 5:30 in the morning. There is no fresh fruit, or new clothing in the zone, even if there was they would be charged a crazy amount of money for it. They hardly make any money. This zone is the work horse of the whole country. There is something about the mixed races. Some of the kids to seem to have abilities. There is an older lady who they meet with in secret who teaches them things that the government doesn’t want them to know. Rain, her brother (Daktari), and best friend (Zi) are introduced to another boy named Jabari. Jabari later introduces them to his friends. Together they all an ability or a talent. They team up and decide they are going to help the people in their zone by letting the other zones know about what it is like in their zone and that not everything is like it seems. I enjoyed this book a lot. I liked how the kids joined together and wanted to help everyone not just escape and save themselves. In the face of someone trying to take everything from them they are finding ways to fight against the people trying to keep them down. They know that they can’t just come out and fight, that in order to be effective they have to do things in secret. Even though the things they have to do maybe dangerous it doesn’t stop them from trying anyway. I can’t wait to read the book in this series.
