In Thalia's world, there is no need for food - everyone takes medication (or "inocs") to ward off hunger. It should mean there is no more famine, no more obesity, no more food-related illnesses, and no more war. At least that's what her parents, who work for the company that developed the inocs, say. But when Thalia meets a boy who is part of an underground movement to bring food back, she realises that most people live a life much different from hers. Worse, Thalia is starting to feel hunger, and so is he - the inocs aren't working. Together they set out to find the only thing that will quell their hunger: real food. H. A. Swain delivers an adventure that is both epic and fast-paced. Get ready to be Hungry.
In the future, food is no longer necessary - until Thalia begins to feel something unfamiliar and uncomfortable. She's hungry.About the AuthorH. A.
