Outside - by Shalini Boland (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A quest for the truth. A fight for survival. A love like no other.

I've lived all my life in the high-security compound built by my father. He's made sure my sister and I are protected. I've never set foot past the perimeter wall and my only knowledge of what exists beyond are rumours of wild landscapes and violent people.

When someone from the outside finds a way in, my little sister is killed. I'm shocked and devastated. Skye was just fourteen, and she had her whole life ahead of her. I'm only a teenager myself, but I am my father's child - headstrong and determined. I vow to find the person responsible.

My best friend, daring and smart Luc, promises to help me and together we set off into the pitch-black night. As we follow the dirt track road into the wilderness, we realise surviving in the harsh outside world is going to be a lot harder than we thought.

With only each other to rely on, sparks begin to fly between us. As we navigate our way through dense forests and twisting hills, my feelings for Luc grow stronger. But then we're captured.

I can't bear the thought of losing Luc and I'm desperate to get home to my family. But will this new danger finally lead me to my sister's killer? Or will the answers change everything I thought I knew about my world?
