My obsession started at age nine. That year was a long, lonely year spent in far off lands and bustling cities filled with epic adventures. Books consumed my life with constant amazement.  Suddenly I had found a place where I could be completely myself. My love for these magic-bound books continued on into my later years, and here I am today, 15 and falling madly for stories just as hard as I was six years ago. I wanted to be on the Teenreads Teen Board because I knew the opportunity to share my love of stories with others was too big to resist. My goal as a Teenreads Teen Board member is to reach out to at least one person and pass along an adventure and/or the love of a good story.

Contaminated

by Em Garner - Dystopian, Fiction, Suspense, Thriller, Young Adult 12+, Youth Fiction

After the Contamination --- an epidemic caused by the super-trendy diet drink SlimPro that turned ordinary citizens into shambling creatures unable to control their violent impulses --- the government rounded up the "Connies" to protect the remaining population. But now, two years later, the government has started sending the rehabilitated back home, complete with shock collars that will either stop the Connies from committing violent acts or kill them before they do any further harm.
