Numbers 
by Rachel Ward

Publication Date: February 1, 2010

         With my wrist still clamped in his grip, he led me to the headmaster's office.  We didn't wait outside like usual.  Still holding on to me, McNulty walked straight past the school secretary in her office and knocked on the head's door, walking in there and then, full of self-importance.  "Headmaster, we've got a serious issue to deal with ehre.  I caught Jem Marsh threatening another pupil with a knife on school grounds."  He placed the knife on the head's desk.

Numbers is a frightening look into a future hard to comprehend.  Only one person can stop what's about to happen, and that's Jem, the gril with the numbers in her eyes.  This is giving me chills, and not just because of the destruction looming in the future, but because of the violence that the high school students perpetuate towards each other.  A very interesting pre-dystopian sci-fi.  I'm really loving it!
