Description
Book SynopsisQuinn might get used to the food, Work Bots, and creating the Blue Brick but why are children all around him turning blue?Quinn Fleet, twelve, Packager (QF12P) has only been at the Work Centre for three days, but he's already seen a Caver run away, faced interrogation, and been made to stand in front of a crowd of children in the Grand Hall to apologize for breaking a Blue Brick.
That''s when he notices that all the children at the Work Centre look so thin, ragged, and blue.
Why are the children turning
blue? Why can they make the strange blue spark when they snap their fingers? What's the blue shimmer in the air? And why do a renegade Work Bot and an Officer want Quinn to lead the NewBlues to the sanctuary of the Quiet, Quiet?
But more than all that, what
is the Quiet, Quiet, anyway?
Trade ReviewQuinn and the Quiet, Quiet is a timely tale about what can happen when we destroy the only home we have ever known....Writing in clear and concise language, Philippa Dowding has done a great job at taking a very serious topic and making it age-appropriate. Overall, a very enjoyable read. * CM: Canadian Review of Materials *
