Beta by Rachel Cohn

Beta by Rachel Cohn

Elysia is created in a laboratory, born as a 16-year-old girl, an empty vessel with no life experience to draw from. She is a Beta, an experimental model of a teenage clone. She was replicated from another teenage girl, who had to die in order for Elysia to exist. Elysia's purpose is to serve the inhabitants of Demesne, an island paradise for the wealthiest people on earth. No one must discover that Elysia isn't the unfeeling clone she pretends to be. Beta is a haunting, unforgettable story of courage and love in a uncorrupted world.

Rachel Cohn & David Levithan have written three books together. Their first, Nick & Norah s Infinite Playlist, was made into a movie starring Michael Cera and Kat Dennings, directed by Peter Sollett. Their second, Naomi and Ely s No Kiss List, was named a New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age. For their third book, Dash & Lily s Book of Dares, David wrote Dash s chapters and Rachel wrote Lily s. Although they did not pass the chapters back and forth in a red Moleskine notebook, they did email them to each other without planning anything out beforehand. That s the way they work.
Rachel s previous books include Gingerbread, Shrimp, Cupcake, You Know Where to Find Me, and Very LeFreak. David s previous books include Boy Meets Boy, The Realm of Possibility, Are We There Yet?, Wide Awake, Love Is the Higher Law, and How They Met, and Other Stories.
