Showing results for "Brain" in Coming of Age

The summer after seventh grade was supposed to be uneventful. Long days. Lazy afternoons. A derelict building on a hill, long forgotten. But when a baseball sails over a rusted fence and into the grounds of the abandoned Fairfield Children’s Home, curiosity pulls a group of friends toward a place the town has spent decades trying to forget. Yet something still lives beneath the cracked boards and tangled roots, something that remembers the children who never came home.

Seventeen-year-old Caleb Shaw's eidetic memory makes him a valuable asset to a government that harvests children like him for their innate ability to create memory modules for the brain drive—an implantable device that stores information in the form of memories. Caleb discovers that his father has been sheltering him from the truth about the brain drive, and he begins to question everything about the world he grew up in. When he is ripped from his home and taken to a government facility, his eyes are opened to the atrocities committed against children for technological advancement.
