Breathe: A Gripping YA Dystopian Thriller About Three Teens Who Spark an Environmental Revolution

The world has no air. If you want to survive, you pay to breathe. But what if you can't? And what if you think everything could be different? Three teens will leave everything they know behind in Sarah Crossan's gripping and original dystopian teen novel of danger, longing, and glimmering hope that will appeal to fans of Patrick Ness and Veronica Roth. National Book Award Finalist Kathleen Duey called Breathe "An amazing story! Sit down. Inhale. Now, while you still can." Ever since the Switch, when the oxygen levels plummeted and most of humanity died, the survivors have been protected in glass domes full of manufactured air. Protected . . . or trapped? Or controlled? Alina's a revolutionary who believes we can save the environment. Quinn's a Premium who's never had to worry about having enough air. His best friend, Bea, is an Auxiliary who's never worried about anything but having enough air. When the three cross paths, they will change everything. Sarah Crossan's thrilling and provocative novel is about passion, about yearning for something better, and about breaking free for the very first time. The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books proclaims it an "action-packed dystopian series opener to watch out for." One fights for the Resistance. One is a privileged elite. One is just trying to survive. Their choice to leave the dome will ignite a rebellion. A Post-Apocalyptic World: Where breathable air is a commodity sold by a powerful corporation, and the only survivors of a global catastrophe live trapped inside a glass dome. Social Hierarchy: Follows three teens from different classes—Alina the revolutionary, Quinn the Premium, and Bea the Auxiliary—as their worlds collide. A Brewing Rebellion: When a desperate mission into the dangerous Outlands goes wrong, a trio of unlikely allies must fight for freedom, not just for themselves, but for all of humanity. A High-Stakes Love Triangle: Quinn is a privileged Premium, and Bea is his best friend who secretly loves him. But when they meet Alina, a fierce member of the Resistance, loyalties are tested and hearts are on the line. YA Dystopian Series: Perfect for fans of Veronica Roth and Patrick Ness, this is the action-packed first book in a series that explores what it means to break free and truly live.
