Cherry Heaven, the author's second novel and a sequel to The Diary of Pelly D, is a story that reached out and kept me reading, no matter how much I needed to put it down and do something else, bed or work for example.Cherry Heaven is a gripping thriller in which the pace builds from the introduction of two city girls to life on the new frontier to the finale where we have to think about evil that is done in the name of good and where we draw the line in investigating atrocities. Give this a try, you won't regret it, Luka's horrible childhood will keep you wanting to read more and at the end of it you'll have something real to think about.
The last birthday i ever had, years ago, was the one where I got shot instead of presents.

Format:Paperback
After the death of their parents, Tanka and Kat J. leave behind their war ravaged home in City Five and journey with their aunt and uncle to a fresh start on the New Frounteer. Their new home promises a life free from prejudice, where people are no longer judged by their genetic codes, shown by colour of their hand stamps. But a sinster secret lurks behind this too-good-to-be-true façade.
While the city girls travel in style, another girl isn't so lucky. Bottleseal 55 is trapped in the endless servitude of the Hydro Factory. But she remembers a time before. She remembers that her real name is Luka, and she has a plan to get revenge.
L.J. Adlington has cleverly disguised a sci fi story about prejudice, discrimination and genetic inequality behind a light and easy to read piece of teenaged fiction. Our heroine is the smart-but-shy Kat, overshadowed by her more outgoing sister Tanka. While Tanka concentrates on her looks and popularity, Kat is haunted by the mystery that surrounds their new home. Their story is intersperced with chapters from the point of view of Luka, on her desperate quest to escape and get back at those who destroyed her life.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed 'The Handmaid's Tale', by Margaret Atwood, the 'Noughts and Crosses' sequence by Malorie Blackman or 'The Declaration' by Gemma Malley.

History repeats itself.
Everyone left Earth because of all the fighting and destruction of the planet. All these people left for a better chance at life, but they've forgotten their past mistakes.
Kat and Tanka move to the New Frontier with their foster parents ten years after the war killed their real parents. The New Frontier is taking giant leaps in equality for everyone, keeping peace, and helping to rebuild this world.
Unfortunately, there's a secret behind the equality and it's about to be exposed.
CHERRY HEAVEN, the companion novel to THE DIARY OF PELLY D, will open your eyes towards war and give new meaning to the word hope.
