A mysterious disease is killing children. Ruby has watched as her class has gotten smaller and smaller. On her tenth birthday she feels weird. She's not quite sure what's different. Whatever it is makes her parents call the police and have her taken away. She is sent to camp Thurmond. It's a horrible place filled with other children. Apparently the children that survived the disease have developed some scary and dangerous abilities and the government wants them contained.

I've had this book on my radar since it came out. I just never got around to it. When I saw the movie trailer, I decided I should read it before I watch the movie. I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters. I'm excited to read the rest of the series and to see the movie.
