Outwalkers by Fiona Shaw
The border's closed, Jake said. No one can get into Scotland, just like no one can cross the Channel . . . This is England and it's no longer a free country. The Government can track anyone, anywhere, from a chip implanted at birth. But Jake has escaped from his Academy orphanage, and he's got to get to Scotland with his dog, Jet. When the Outwalkers gang grabs him, they go off-grid while the Government hunts for them. The closer they get to Scotland, the more dangerous it is. Because now, it's not only their own lives that are at stake . . .
Shakes the soul. . It has a moral compass that should put it bang in the centre of our kids' imaginations * New Statesman *
Gripping, action-packed, but with moments of tenderness, Shaw's first YA novel tackles contemporary issues, balancing them with timeless themes of love, loyalty and freedom * Daily Mail *
