Does it say anywhere this is in the 'teen' section of the library? I'm not sure what age this book is for, I can't really see a 'teen' liking it so I'd think maybe ages 10-12 might be about right----if they can stick with it

It is very confusing as it doesn't explain anything, yes the children are 'different' and are sent away to special 'camps' and given a color code' but nothing is explained, the main girl, Ruby, is ten when she goes to camp and is about 16 when she finally gets out or 'escapes' but again it just goes from one unexplained event to another

I found it tedious reading and I don't know how a YA reader can stick with it but good luck
