Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine.
Today's pick is a dystopian book that somehow rings a bell...
THE UNIDENTIFIED (Rae Mariz)
Fifteen-year-old Katey (aka Kid) goes to school in the Game—a mall converted into a “school” run by corporate sponsors. As the students play their way through the levels, they are also creating products and being used for market research by the sponsors, who are watching them 24/7 on video cameras.
Kid has a vague sense of unease but doesn’t question this existence until one day she witnesses a shocking anticorporate prank. She follows the clues to uncover the identities of the people behind it and discovers an anonymous group that calls itself the Unidentified. Intrigued by their counterculture ideas and enigmatic leader, Kid is drawn into the group. But when the Unidentified’s pranks and even Kid’s own identity are co-opted by the sponsors, Kid decides to do something bigger—something that could change the Game forever.
To be published 5 October by Balzer + Bray.
What do you think? It does ring a bell, right? I'm only just beginning to appreciate dystopian novels, so boy am I excited for this title. And I love female heroines in dystopian novels best - so there we go!

Come see what my WOW is this week
I like the cover. I haven't read any dystopian novels yet, maybe this will be a good one to start on? I'll wait for your review haha ;)
Check out my pick :D
I love anything dystopian! Sounds very intriguing, and the cover is quite cool too. I like the barcode bit, very effective. Nice pick!
It reminds me of Hunger Games, which I flat out adored. I definitely plan on reading this, but I hope it doesn't compare too much with Hunger Games since that book, in my mind, is untouchable.
OHH, blush, I have this one sitting on the shelf, MUST get to it, it comes out soon! :) Awesome pick it does sound awesome! :D
I adore dystpian novels and this one sounds intersting. Can't wait to see it in person.
