All Good Children by Catherine Austen
This best-selling book is now available in paperback. It's the middle of the twenty-first century and the elite children of New Middletown are lined up to receive a treatment that turns them into obedient, well-mannered citizens. Maxwell Connors, a fifteen-year-old prankster, misfit and graffiti artist, observes the changes with growing concern, especially when his younger sister, Ally, is targeted. Max and his best friend, Dallas, escape the treatment, but must pretend to be zombies while they watch their freedoms and hopes decay. When Max's family decides to take Dallas with them into the unknown world beyond New Middletown's borders, Max's creativity becomes an unexpected bonus rather than a liability.The Canadian Library Association Book of the Year for Children Award, the Quebec Writers Federation Prize, and the Manitoba Young Readers Award were all nominated for Catherine Austen's first novel for children. Catherine lives in Gatineau, Quebec, with her family.
