Review

This book is book two, but it easily stands on its own. This is the story of parallel worlds. In one world Eevee is the artistic governor's daughter. In the other world lives a boy whose parent were killed and he is beaten by his foster father. We meet Danny when his foster dad tried to run him over. In Eevee's world the government watches everyone, and there is a new plan to register everyone so they can be identified on line wherever they are. Danny's world is more like ours. The two Dannys switch places. Danny from "our" world likes having his parents still alive. He runs into Eevee and realizes that they have met before. The kids work together to over throw the technology. Sweet tale of young love.

Overall Book Score: good
