It's 1922, and eugenics--the movement dedicated to racial purity and good breeding--has taken hold in America. State laws allow institutions to sterilize minorities, the "feeble-minded," and the poor, while local eugenics councils set up exhibits at county fairs with "fitter family" contests and propaganda. After years of being confined to hospitals, Rowan is recruited at sixteen to play a born cripple in a county fair eugenics exhibit. But gutsy, outspoken Dorchy befriends Rowan and helps her realize her own inner strength and bravery. The two escape the fair and end up at a summer camp on a desolate island run by the New England Eugenics Council. There they discover something is happening to the children. Rowan must find a way to stop the horrors on the island...if she can escape them herself. 001471172 5218_ $$aHL 630$$bLexile. 001471172 650_0 $$aPoliomyelitis$$xPatients$$zUnited States$$vFiction. 001471172 650_0 $$aEugenics$$zUnited States$$vFiction. 001471172 650_0 $$aFreak shows$$vFiction. 001471172 650_0 $$aCamps$$vFiction. 001471172 650_0 $$aTeenagers$$vFiction. 001471172 655_0 $$aHistorical fiction. 001471172 655_0 $$aYoung adult fiction. 001471172 85280 $$bcas$$hMOGER 001471172 902__ $$a230817 001471172 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1471172$$pGLOBAL_SET 001471172 910__ $$aB&T/skg/$$adw 001471172 945__ $$lnpy$$rn$$j240531$$g07-18-2023 11:36$$ou$$su$$t0$$p$16.99$$q07-18-2023 13:27$$k2$$n0$$u06-26-2023 14:50$$c160209$$i39201051086725 001471172 980__ $$aBOOK 001471172 980__ $$aBIB 001471172 980__ $$aNPR 001471172 994__ $$anp 001471172 999__ $$b3$$c160209$$dm$$ea$$fn$$g0
