SHE WILL NOT BREAK
Vega Jane was always told no one could leave the town of Wormwood. She was told there was nothing outside but a forest filled with danger and death. And she always believed it -- until the night she saw Quentin Herms run away.
Vega knows Quentin didn't just leave -- he was chased. And he left behind a trail of clues that point to a dark conspiracy at the heart of Wormwood. To follow the clues will attract the attention of influential people willing to kill to keep their secrets. If Vega wants to stay safe, she just needs to keep her head down and her mouth shut. There's only one problem -- Vega Jane never walks away from a fight.
Master storyteller David Baldacci introduces an unforgettable heroine who must think fast, hit hard, and defy all odds to uncover the truth.

Loved it!!! Its about a girl named Vega Jane who tries to escape from Wormwood
A good book. It is about a girl named Vega Jane in a dystopian place called Wormwood. It is surrounded by the Quag, a beast infested jungle.
People say this book is like divergent.So I'm looking forward to reading it to see for myself.When I do read it I'm gonna come back to Dogo and tell you guy's what I thought.I'll compare and contrast both the books so you guys can have your own opinions.
Vega Jane has never left the village of Wormwood. But this isn't unusual -- nobody has ever left the village of Wormwood. At least not until Quentin Herms vanishes into the unknown. Vega knows Quentin didn't just leave -- he was chased. And he's left behind a very dangerous trail of clues that only she can decode.
My sister just got this book and she says it is a great book. I really want to read it soon. I love reading fantasy books.
I loved this book. There a girl who was a warrior and was furious. (My type). I hope there is a another book to it.
This is an AWESOME BOOK. This book is a little bit like Divergent and kind of The hunger Games with the citizens not able to go out of the town/city borders and many other reasons! Main character Vega Jane is stuck in Wormwood which is where she has lived all her life, it's not that bad it is just that every thing is always the same, that is until Quentin Herms (her mentor) leaves through the Quag which means certain death. That changes EVERYTHING the council has the Wugs (people) build a wall that keeps out the "Outliers" (which don't exist). Then Vega starts to realize that she and everyone in Wormwood has been lied to their whole lives. I can't wait until the next book comes out!!!!!!!!!!! READ IT!!!!!!!!!
I've read the first chapter and so far it's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
A lot of my friends have recommended this book to me. It looks like a pretty good book to read this summer. I cant wait to read it!
