A potent, powerful and timely thriller about migrants, drug lords
and gang warfare set on the US/Mexican border by PRINTZ MEDAL
winning and CARNEGIE MEDAL, COSTA BOOK AWARD and GUARDIAN
CHILDREN'S FICTION PRIZE shortlisted novelist, Marcus Sedgwick.
Anapra is one of the poorest neighbourhoods in the Mexican city of
Juarez - twenty metres outside town lies a fence, and beyond it,
America - the dangerous goal of many a migrant. Faustino is one
such trying to escape from the gang he's been working for. He's
dipped into a pile of dollars he was supposed to be hiding and now
he's on the run. He and his friend, Arturo, have only 36 hours to
replace the missing money, or they're as good as dead. Watching
over them is Saint Death. Saint Death (or Santissima Muerte) - she
of pure bone and charcoal-black eye, she of absolute loyalty and
neutral morality, holy patron to rich and poor, to prostitute and
narco-lord, criminal and police-chief. A folk saint, a rebel angel,
a sinister guardian.
In the thrilling second book in a series best described as Alien meets The Darkest Minds, Kenzie and her friends find themselves on the run and up against another alien invasion headed towards Earth.
They may have escaped Sanctuary, but Kenzie and her friends are far from safe.
Ex-Omnistellar prison guard Kenzie and her superpowered friends barely made it off Sanctuary alive. Now they’re stuck in a stolen alien ship with nowhere to go and no one to help them. Kenzie is desperate for a plan, but she doesn’t know who to trust anymore. Everyone has their own dark secrets: Omnistellar, her parents, even Cage. Worse still, she’s haunted by memories of the aliens who nearly tore her to shreds—and forced her to accidentally kill one of the Sanctuary prisoners.
When Kenzie intercepts a radio communication suggesting that more aliens are on their way, she knows there’s only one choice: They must destroy the ship before the aliens follow the signal straight to them. Because if the monstrous creatures who attacked Sanctuary reach Earth, then it’s game over for humanity.
What Kenzie doesn’t know is that the aliens aren’t the only ones on the hunt. Omnistellar has put a bounty on Kenzie’s head—and the question is whether the aliens or Omnistellar get to her first.

Becca's only hope is that her twin sister will find her. That perfect little priss Cassie will stop following the rules and start breaking them, before it's too late. Because her jailers made a mistake that could get them both killed:
They took the wrong twin.
