Three hundred years into the future and the world has changed. Among a chosen few, life expectancy is now hundreds of years. These are the foreverchildren, and science has found a way to keep them in a nearly endless childhood. Secure in their giant hives, they have left the outsiders, who must live natural lives, to fend for themselves.
This is the story of Kianno and Seelin, two children who find themselves trading places in this strange new world, one stepping into the life of a foreverchild and the other suddenly thrown into the anarchy of the outside world. Many years later, their lives come together again in surprising and
unexpected ways, as they both become involved in a fierce struggle between the two worlds.
This is the book SFF World called "...a fast-paced story that is well thought-out and well told. It is actually quite thought-provoking in many ways, showing aspects of our present world and its values from a whole new perspective...All in all, an excellent, well-written story that had me hooked from the very first page."
The Childrens Book Review said, "Core to the story are issues of freedom, oppression, and individualism, offering extensive scope for discussion, both in classroom settings and with other readers... A gripping, fast-paced story with hard-hitting plot twists and a compelliong cast of characters, ForeverChild is a must-read for any dystopian fiction fan with a keen eye on the present and future."
The Midwest Review called it "...an especially thought-provoking story of a future teetering on both destruction and rebirth. This lends itself especially well to classroom and book club discussion, making ForeverChild a top recommendation for collections seeking more depth and debate opportunities from their sci-fi acquisitions than most books offer to this age group."
