Fever Crumb

by Phillip Reeve
Hennepin County Library hardcover 325 pages
genre: YA Sci-Fi dystopia

This one definitely kept my attention. Set so far in the future that the world of technology is a mystery known to specialized engineers, London is a somewhat calm place as nomads move closer. To trade or to invade? Fever Crumb is the only female at the Order of Engineers and has been raised to be logical and unemotional. When archeologist Kit Solent sends for her, she starts to "remember" things that never happened to her. This exciting story is both beautiful and tragic. Fever is a memorable character and I hope there is a sequel in the works!
