It was a risk, breaking the rules, but following them hadn't done much good, either. Rosie Sinclair, 15, had to face facts. With the fifty cuts happening the next day, this could well be her last night at Forge. " The Forge School was an elite arts academy and "The Forge Show" was a reality show that tracked and broadcast the activity of each individual student. It was a smart, interactive system. Viewers at home controlled who they watched by selecting their favorite students' feeds. The feedback of their viewing choices, in turn, determined student blip ranks." Students received a per centage of advertising revenues upon graduation. The Forge was Rosie's ticket to fame and escape from her stepfather's abuse. All students are sedated at night and under constant televised surveillance at almost all other times. The night Rosie neglects to swallow her sleeping pill, she discovers several odd, disquieting happenings...secret seizures, insertions of IV's into sleeping arms... Even though she hates always being on and hates the forced twelve hours sleeps, she wants to stay. She needs to make films, real films about real people...to get the truth and show what really matters. This spectacular thriller should appeal to the fans of Hunger Games and attract additional readers as the gruesome bloodbaths of Hunger Games are absent.
