Anna Covey is a 'Surplus'. She should not have been born. In a society in which ageing is no longer feared, and death is no longer an inevitability, children are an abomination. Like all Surpluses, Anna is living in a Surplus Hall and learning how to make amends for the selfish act her parents committed in having her. She is quietly accepting of her fate until, one day, a new inmate arrives. Anna's life is thrown into chaos. But is she brave enough to believe this mysterious boy? A tense and utterly compelling story about a society behind a wall, and the way in which two young people seize the chance to break free.

Condition: Good. : En un futuro distópico donde la longevidad se ha extendido gracias a los avances científicos, Anna Covey es considerada un "Excedente", una persona que no debería haber nacido. En una sociedad donde la sobrepoblación es un problema grave, los niños están prohibidos, y Anna vive en Grange Hall, una institución para niños "Excedentes". Allí, se les enseña a expiar el egoísmo de sus padres al traerlos al mundo. Sin embargo, la llegada de Peter, un nuevo interno, cambiará la vida de Anna para siempre, mostrándole un mundo exterior donde la longevidad es cuestionada y la libertad es posible. ¿Será Anna lo suficientemente valiente para creer en Peter y desafiar el mundo que conoce?
