GemX by Nicky Singer
In a world where perfection rules, Maxo Strang is king. He is a GemX, a boy genetically manipulated to be flawless. Maxo discovers a wrinkle in his face. This can't happen to him! It happens only to the Dreggies - the wretched underclass of unenhanced 'naturals' who live outside the Polis.
[Of The Innocent's Story]: 'Thought-provoking and horribly topicalThe Bookseller This tense, gripping novel could hardly be more topical, raising questions of faith, loyalty and responsibility. Linda Newbery, TES The sheer imaginative audacity of The Innocent's Story propels it beyond anything expected.

The Teacher Here is proof positive that children's books can be just as affecting and wonderfully written as those written for adults. This startling book had me gripped from page one... it's like The Lovely Bones for teenagers and is quite simply unforgettable. Excellent. Evening News (Norwich) This is an original, often blackly humorous novel, which sets out to probe beneath the surface of easy assumptions. Irish Times Tender, thoughtful and idealistic, this is a tough but immensely worthwhile read. The Independent
