Scored by Lauren Mclaughlin
Set in the future when teenagers are monitored via camera and their recorded actions and confessions plugged into a computer program that determines their ability to succeed. All kids given a score that determines their future potential. This score can get kids into colleges, grant scholarships, or destroy all hope for the above. Scored's reluctant heroine is Imani, a girl whose high score is brought down when her best friend's score plummets. Where do you draw the line between doing what feels morally right and what can mean your future? Friendship, romance, loyalty, family, human connection and human value: all are questioned in this fresh and compelling dystopian novel set in the scarily forseeable future.Lauren McLaughlin grew up in the little town of Wenham, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston. She spent ten years as a screenwriter and producer after graduation and a brief detour into anthropology before turning her attention to novels. She's also the author of the YA novels Cycler, (Re)Cycler, and Scored, as well as the Mitzi Tulane, Preschool Detective picture book series for kids.
