Age: Middle school-High school

A dystopian novel with an eerily potential future that has devastating effects on women's rights. When a synthetic hormone in meat causes the majority of U.S. women past puberty age to contract ovarian cancer, the remaining girls are left to be cordoned off and bartered off by the male population for breeding purposes. As horrific as that sounds in such a simplified statement, the male politicians and figureheads make the young girls believe that it is for their own good, keeping the girls from anything that could ruin the powerful's investments.

The main character is one such girl and finds herself sold to a rich, abusive man for a high asking price. An interesting relationship in the book is between the main character and her father who sells her to this man. There is complexity while the main character still loves her father but seeks independence from this crazy system. How would you respond if your father did that, within the confines of this new order?
