Of Better Blood by Susan Moger
Teenage polio survivor Rowan Collier is caught in the crossfire of a secret war against -the unfit.- It's 1922, and eugenics--the movement dedicated to racial purity and good breeding--has taken hold in America. State laws allow institutions to sterilize minorities, the -feeble-minded, - and the poor, while local eugenics councils set up exhibits at county fairs with -fitter family- contests and propaganda. After years of being confined to hospitals, Rowan is recruited at sixteen to play a born cripple in a county fair eugenics exhibit. But gutsy, outspoken Dorchy befriends Rowan and helps her realize her own inner strength and bravery. The two escape the fair and end up at a summer camp on a desolate island run by the New England Eugenics Council. There they discover something is happening to the children. Rowan must find a way to stop the horrors on the island.if she can escape them herself.| SKU | Unavailable |
