Slated is an amazing story set in the near future about a 16 year old girl named Kyla Davis a.k.a Lucy Conner. She lives in a scary version of England where everything is observed and controlled and there is no where to hide.
We don't know why, but Lucy has had her mind erased and has become Kyla. She now has to wear a Levo which controls her emotions; if she gets too angry or sad and the readings are too low, she will black out.
The main characters are Kyla, Amy, Sandra and David Davis, Kyla's new family, Ben Nix, her friend, Jazz and Dr Lyslander. My favourite character is Sandra Davis because she is mysterious and sometimes she is kind and caring and you feel you can trust her, other times she is strict and harsh and you feel you can't trust her.
My favourite part is when Kyla is having a check up at the hospital and terrorists attack. Kyla goes up to her old room at the hospital and she finds out about of what happened to a girl from her class named Phoebe Best who was taken by Lorders (Lorders are people who work for the government to stop the terrorists). This is my favourite part because it is the most dramatic and quite scary.
I really liked this book; it was great to read and is the first in the series. I would recommend this book to mature readers aged 11+ years old. If you liked Hunger Games you will definitely like Slated.
