Middle Ground

About this item

In this provocative cautionary tale for teens, the sequel to Awaken , seventeen-year-old Maddie’s rebellion against the digital-only life grows dangerous. Maddie is in Los Angeles, trying to stay out of trouble. But one night, a seemingly small act of defiance lands her in the place she fears the most: a detention center. Here, patients are reprogrammed to accept a digital existence. Maddie is now fighting for her mind, her soul, and her very life. Once again, Katie Kacvinsky paints a disturbing picture of our increasingly technology-based society. Review "Lyrical, provocative, passionate and thought-provoking."-- Kirkus About the Author Katie Kacvinsky worked in the entertainment industry and as a high school English teacher before deciding to write full time.
