Sci-Fi Classics: Anthem (Easy Classics) by Ned Hartley

Adapted and illustrated edition of Anthem at easy-to-read level for a new generation of readers aged 7+.

There is no identity in the City. Everyone’s the same. Same thoughts. Same clothes. Same friends. With everything decided for them, the citizens of the City are expected to be happy with their lives. But Equality 7-2521 is miserable.

Refusing to simply fit in, he breaks laws, pursues his interest in science and even finds forbidden love. And when he discovers a strange glass light box, his life changes forever.
