Dead Happy

★ “Silver wraps up his duology in a way that is both satisfying and contemplative….[A] fresh take on dystopian fiction with themes of mental health and eugenics, it is a must-have for library collections worthy of its place next to Lois Lowry’s The Giver and Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games.” —School Library Journal, starred review“While still centering on themes of mental health and happiness in the digital age, this sequel raises the stakes with explorations of eugenics and just how far people will go to be happy. A thrilling sequel that brings this duology to a satisfying conclusion.” —Kirkus Reviews
