As her world unravels, she reconnects with a lost friend and begins to question the society she trusted. Who is Mikayla if not the model citizen she believed?

From the publisher

Set in a world where everyone’s future is determined by their Genetic Report Card, a girl who’s always believed she was at the top of society finds out her score was based off someone else’s DNA in this “compelling, thought-provoking” (Kirkus Reviews) middle grade dystopian novel. For as long as Mikayla can remember, her future has been laid out for her. As an Elite in a world divided by genetic Elites, Defectives, and Expendables, she’ll live up to her stellar Genetic Report Card score of ninety-four by excelling academically, gaining acceptance into the Elite Scholars program, and eventually working for GenIn, the company that saved humanity after the catastrophic Great Dying. All seems to be going as planned until a surprise assignment during Mikayla’s class changes everything. Soon, she’s reconnecting with a friend she thought she’d lost forever and–for the first time in her life–questioning the society she has put her trust in. But if Mikayla isn’t the model citizen she always believed herself to be, then who is she?
