ISBN 10: 1101891041 ISBN 13: 9781101891049

Publisher: Listening Library, 2015

Phaet Theta has lived her whole life in a colony on the Moon. She’s barely spoken since her father died in an accident nine years ago. She cultivates the plants in Greenhouse 22, lets her best friend talk for her, and stays off the government’s radar.

Then her mother is arrested.

The only way to save her younger siblings from the degrading Shelter is by enlisting in the Militia, the faceless army that polices the Lunar bases and protects them from attacks by desperate Earth-dwellers. Training is brutal, but it’s where Phaet forms an uneasy but meaningful alliance with the preternaturally accomplished Wes, a fellow outsider.

Rank high, save her siblings, free her mom: that’s the plan. Until Phaet’s logically ordered world begins to crumble...

Suspenseful, intelligent, and hauntingly prescient, Dove Arising stands on the shoulders of our greatest tales of the future to tell a story that is all too relevant today

Review

"Karen Bao is an incredibly talented young writer. Beautiful prose and one of the most interesting main characters I've read. "Dove Arising" marks the debut of a promising new talent. I loved the story, and I can't wait to read more!" --Christopher Paolini, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Eragon"
"Newcomer Bao's off-world setting and world-building details are intriguing."--"Publishers Weekly"
"
"Characters are well developed, especially strong-willed Phaet, and an even pace will keep teens turning pages. Fans of Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game," Veronica Roth's "Divergent "and Marie Lu's "Legend "should flock to this well-written debut effort by 19-year-old Bao." --"School Library Journal"
"
"Until just recently, the number of formidable young adult authors who got published before they were out of their teens was extremely small: Christopher Paolini and Isamu Fukui. Well, it is time to make room for a third name in this elite list: Karen Bao." --"VOYA
"
"The 20-year-old Bao writes a brilliant new YA heroine in a world of true science fiction." --Bustle.com
"Phaet is a compelling, 'do what needs doing' kind of girl, and her desperation to succeed and secure her family's future is palpable...Revelations at the end pave the way for a sequel."--Booklist.com
"Fans of "The 5th Wave, Divergent, "and "Legend" will love this smart, futuristic thriller." --"Justine"
