Freedom Trials, The

Part sci-fi and part dystopia, The Freedom Trials is an edge-of-your-seat thriller about Evelyn Summers-a seventeen-year-old who has spent the last two years serving time for a crime that was wiped from her memory. In order for Evelyn to win her freedom, she-along with other "reformed" prisoners-must pass seven mental, physical, and virtual challenges known as the Freedom Trials. One mistake means execution and, with her reputation for being a snitch, she's already in the crosshairs of her fellow inmates. But when new prisoner Alex Martinez arrives, armed with secrets about Evelyn's forgotten crime, she must make a choice. She can follow the rules to win her freedom, or covertly uncover details of the crime that sent her there. Featuring dynamic girl-friendships and a morally-grey heroine, The Freedom Trials isn't only action-packed, but also character-driven, daring readers to step into the shoes of teens who have to make impossible choices.
