Legend by Marie LuMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Although another dystopian novel, Lu creates an engaging new story, largely because her characters are so likeable. In this country of the future, which involves California and surrounding areas, there is an oppressive government in total control of the people. June, is a child of the government. She is brilliant and talented, scoring a perfect score on the government trials, tests that all children have to take. Day, on the other hand, is from the slums. He has developed a reputation as a terrible foe to government. Family situations drive the two together. June thinks that Day has killed her brother, so she is determined find him and destroy him. Day is trying to get a plague medicine to save his brother. Their paths cross, and in spite of themselves, they are attracted to each other. The non-stop action, as well as a little romance should keep middle and high school boys and girls thoroughly engaged with this novel.
