The Similars (Hardcover)

Junior year gets cutthroat when clones roam the halls...

Similar teens: This fall, six new students are joining the junior class at the elite Darkwood Academy. But they aren't your regular over-achieving teens. They're clones. And the "similar" teens are joining the class alongside their originals.

The Similars are all anyone can talk about: Who are these clones? What are the odds that all of them would be Darkwood students? And who is the madman who broke the law against cloning to create them? Emmaline Chance couldn't care less. Her best friend, Oliver, died over the summer and it's all she can do to get through each day without him. Then she comes face-to-heartbreaking-face with Levi?Oliver's exact DNA copy and one of the Similars.

Dark truths and suspense: Emma wants nothing to do with the Similars, but she keeps getting pulled deeper into their clique. She can't escape the dark truths about the clones or her prestigious school. No one can be trusted, not even the boy she is falling for with Oliver's face.

Rebecca Hanover: This talented author won an Emmy for Best Writing in 2008 as a staff writer on the CBS daytime drama Guiding Light. She (or maybe her clone, the Similar Rebecca Hanover?) is a member of the Writers Guild of America and lives in San Francisco.

This exhilarating and riveting debut by Rebecca Hanover is the next obsession for readers who devoured One of Us Is Lying, Scythe, and Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful.
