The Breaking : Book 2 of The Undoing Trilogy

The Breaking Captivates Readers Who Love Dystopian Fiction for Teens

The Breaking continues the thrilling, fast-paced story that began in The Undoing, a YA near future dystopian book.

The stealth virus that took hold of residents of Montrose continues to claim its victims, while Council seeks to quell the chaos by imposing greater restrictions on the city's people. 

Schools have shut down and non-essential workers have been told not to report to their jobs. Rebecca and the gang have been training with Colossus for weeks now, but when the message arrives in the middle of the night on Rebecca's phone, she knows this is not a drill. As new details about the BRO facilities are revealed, the Colossus team mobilizes for action, but an unexpected event thwarts their plans, and members begin to question their leader. 

How far are the newest Colossus members willing to go to do what's right? 

Rebecca and her friends are forced to make difficult choices and face unexpected challenges that will test their bonds and reveal secrets that will either bring them closer or drive them apart. In the midst of it all, Rebecca finds her relationship with Daniel deepening, if she can trust the signals he seems to be sending.

Rebecca and her friends know the virus is a coordinated attack between Council and BRO on the citizens of Montrose but solving that mystery has only led to more unanswered questions. What started as an effort to fulfill a promise Rebecca made to her dying brother has grown into a determination to break the government before it tears the country apart once more.

Can a small group of people truly make a difference in a world where all the power and control rests in the very hands of the person trying to destroy their country? 

They will risk new alliances. They will risk lives. They will risk the future. They will risk The Breaking.

The Breaking Is Near Future YA Dystopian at Its Best

"Given the current state of affairs, The Breaking holds even more power than the first book in the series, with its compelling series of adventures and discoveries by a group of young people determined to unearth the truth even if it threatens the trust in their interpersonal relationships.
