About This Book
Reach for this book when your teen begins questioning how much of their personality is inherited versus chosen, or when they are grappling with the weight of responsibility and the legacy of lost friends. In this sequel to The Virtual War, fifteen-year-old Corgan is tasked with a monumental challenge: raising a clone of Brig, the child genius who died winning a global conflict. As Corgan navigates the isolation of a post-war world, he must decide if this new child is a second chance or a separate individual entirely. This science fiction story tackles profound ethical questions regarding cloning, the definition of the soul, and the struggle for independence in a world that views people as tools. It is an ideal pick for middle schoolers ready for complex moral dilemmas and dystopian themes of identity and self-determination.
