You have two options. You die, or you Qualify.

Sixteen-year-old Gwenevere Lark is determined not only to Qualify but to rescue her entire family.

If you are good enough to Qualify, you are eligible to compete in the brutal games of the Atlantis Grail, which grants all winners the laurels, high-tech luxuries, and full privileges of Atlantis citizenship. And if you are in the Top 10, then all your wildest wishes are granted...such as curing your mother's cancer.

There is only one problem. Gwen Lark is known as a klutz and a nerd. While she's a hotshot in classics, history, science, and languages, the closest she's come to sports is a backyard pool and a skateboard.

This time she is in over her head, and in for a fight of her life, against impossible odds and world-class competition - including Logan Sangre, the most amazing guy in her school, the one she's been crushing on, and who doesn't seem to know she exists.

Because every other teen on earth has the same idea.

You Qualify, or you die.

The reader's voice is pleasing (except for certain accents or inflections given to some characters which drove me a little crazy - but most of them sound spot on!)
I would advise reading this story as a young adult. I loved it !

Great story!

Lecture :

Plutôt bien lu, pas exceptionnel mais ça passe et surtout très facile à comprendre pour le français que je suis et c'est LE critère le plus important pour moi

Histoire :

Un peu dubitatif au départ et même dérangé par le ton et le rendu très ado du narrateur. Logique c'est une ado mais l'écriture me fait classer ce livre comme un SF pour jeunesse.

Et pourtant avec le temps, on s'y fait et après tout c'est cohérent avec le personnage et on oublie.

Entre temps, l'histoire commence a se développer et elle est vraiment riche avec des rebondissements et surtout TRES créative. L'auteur a vraiment crée ex nihilo tout une culture avec une histoire, une technologie, une mentalité, des sports, arts, etc (bref tout ce qui fait une culture) le tout mélangé à des nuances d'HUNGER GAME.

Et voilà on se laisse entrainer dans le récit.

J'écris ce commentaire à 1/3 de l'histoire et je sais déjà que je vais prendre la suite !
