OUTSIDE
From three-time Newbery Honor winner Jennifer L. Holm, a chilling but heartfelt story of a girl being raised in a compound who doesn't understand how isolated and unusual her life is... until she must encounter the outside world.
For as long as she can remember, twelve-year-old Razzi has lived in the Refuge, a self-sufficient compound with high walls that keep the inhabitants protected from the things Outside. Things like Searchers, which canvas the land in search of survivors of the Great Poisoning, supposedly with the intention of killing them.
Life is simple, and most importantly, safe—until Razzi learns she needs a heart transplant. While she survives, the Refuge’s doctor having given her the heart of a greyhound named Wind, things start getting…strange. Her hearing is suddenly spectacular. Chocolate makes her sick. And she can’t stop wanting to chase her little brother’s pet bunny.
Soon, she realizes that Wind is living on inside her. And when Wind starts sending her feelings about someone Outside, someone in need of rescue, Razzi ventures away from the Refuge for the first time in her life.
And what she discovers changes everything…
