Legend- Rodgers

Two Kids, Two Different Worlds, Enemies or Allies?

Legend is a suspenseful account of two perspectives, June, a Republic prodigy, with more skills and knowledge than any other fifteen year old around, and Day, a fugitive legend, who lives on the streets just trying to survive.

These two young and brilliant kids cross paths when it appears the most wanted person in Los Angeles, Day (in an attempt to retrieve a plague cure to save his young brother) has killed a solider. That soldier? ... June's older brother, her best friend, and her only living family member. She has one goal and one goal alone when she goes undercover on the streets... find Day... and seek revenge. The only problem? A handsomely kind and gentle boy who saves her life after she quickly coincides with danger on the streets.

As time passes it seems this boy who has saved and befriended her just might be the boy she has been looking for. But how can this boy who June has seen vulnerable, cunning, and effortlessly kind be the one who murdered her brother? She doesn't let herself mull over these thoughts long because she turns him in to the Republic... or perhaps it's better said that he turned himself in... after her response (sending medics to his family's home) got his mother shot in the head before his very eyes..., 

Something deeper is hidden beyond the plague and beyond June's brother's death, though... will she find out the truth before Day is thrown in front of a firing squad? And if she does... what will they do then?

I love this book. Truly the best dystopian novel I have read, with beautifully developed characters and a meaningful storyline that leaves you ordering the next two books on Amazon at 5am after waking up at 3am to finish the book because your eyes were literally falling closed at 11pm the night before from reading for four hours straight.... Just a prediction...
