Caragh M. O'Brien earned an MA in the writing seminars at Johns Hopkins University. Her novels Birthmarked and Prized were named YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults. Birthmarked was also a Junior Library Guild Selection and chosen for the ALA 2011 Amelia Bloomer List. She lives with her family and writes from her home in Connecticut.
"A sharp novel about the ways in which everyone can be manipulated, either through editing or one's own desire to go the easiest path." --BCCB "Like O'Briens Birthmarked trilogy, this dystopian, sci-fi, psychological-thriller hybrid raises ethical and moral questions about science. This might have been a difficult story to pull off, given the environment, but with a likable narrator who is thoroughly unimpressed with herself, it works . . . this should have wide appeal." --Booklist "Fans looking for a science fiction novel that is not heavy on the science fiction or who want something vaguely dystopian will enjoy this title." --VOYA "A mixture of science fiction and contemporary fiction, this novel is an interesting addition to both genres." --School Library Journal "A fast, satisfying psychological thriller . . . The sudden cliffhanger will polarize readers." --Kirkus Reviews "Like viewers of The Forge Show, readers will want to keep watching Rosie." --Publishers Weekly
