The Ones by Daniel Sweren-Becker
3.0

A new series that is sure to grip teens who love a good dystopian thriller. Cody and James are Ones-they were genetically modified at birth to have the best DNA possible. Meaning, they are basically super human. 1% of the US population are Ones-winning the genetic lottery. A small political faction decides that everyone should be equal and this grass roots organization quickly takes over the government. The Equality Movement is born and laws are soon passed that eliminate the Ones freedoms. Most Ones are between the ages of newborn and 21-we are talking about kids being discriminated against for a decision their parents made a birth. Of course the Ones decide to fight back. Cody and James are caught in the middle of the Ones fight. This series holds much promise. Not sure I will stick with it, but I can see how a certain type of reader would very much enjoy the Ones fight.
Thanks Netgalley for providing a galley in exchange for an honest review.
