About this title

Review:

"[Enclave] is a young adult dystopian novel and has been compared to the hit series "The Hunger Games. "To say we're excited is a major understatement." --ElleGirl.com

"In her first young adult novel, Aguirre (the Sirantha Jax series) has created a gritty and highly competent heroine, an equally deadly sidekick/love interest, and a fascinating if unpleasant civilization. This series is likely to hold considerable appeal for fans of "The Hunger Games."" --"Publishers Weekly"

""Enclave" is dark and thrilling, fast-paced and intense. With some graphic and gross imagery and a hard look at a post-apocalyptic world, Aguirre has taken themes from Scott Westerfeld and an assortment of zombie literature and created something that is very much her own--and a very engaging read." --"RT Book Reviews"

"This well-paced zombie-esque adventure in an urban wasteland will keep fans happy." --"Kirkus Reviews"

"Aguirre's young adult debut is a gripping survival story set in an apocalyptic future. . . . This is a tense, action-packed dystopia with intriguingly gray characters." --"Booklist"

"Deuce's passion for life, even in her bleakest moments, is contagious, and that passion exemplifies the nebulous force that has driven all of these individuals to persist in the face of awful options." --"The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"
