Gr 9 Up—Madeline Landry gave up her gentry upbringing in defense of the lower-class Rootless in Landry Park (Dial, 2014). When members of the wealthy class are murdered, the teen begins to question the new revolution and her comrades; love and life hang in the balance. The thrilling conclusion to this postapocalyptic duology with a Downton Abbey twist will satisfy fans of dystopians with a romantic bent.
Madeline Landry (Landry Park) finds herself at odds with her fellow revolutionaries--including her boyfriend, David--when she suspects a low-class Rootless man of murdering gentry heirs. Nevertheless, she continues her fight to unite both social classes and prevent a war. This fast-paced blend of Jane Austen influences and dystopian literature expertly incorporates romance and science, bringing the duology to a satisfying conclusion.
