Bix is the youngest in her family, and she likes to do things differently. Everyone in her city is helped, all the time, by the "eyes" who make their choices for them. Bix hates reading because she can't choose her own books. Until 1 day, Bix follows a small rat through a crack in a wall, where she discovers a city under the city - and it has a library!
Dystopian? Orwellian? A little deep for the early reader this graphic novel seems to be intended for. AJ was thoroughly confused, we stuck it through to the end, but didn't find it appealing.
