The Diary of Pelly-D by L. J.  Adlington
Published by Hodder

A diary is found in a water can amidst the rubble of a construction site. Instead of obediently handing it over to his supervisor, Tony V keeps it and secretly reads about Pelly D – the savvy teenager who’s got everything going for her – or so it seems.   What begins as a light hearted tale of teenage angst gradually develops into a dark and terrifying account of a doomed society.

A timely read that skilfully explores the dangers of segregation and discrimination brought about by an enforced genetic ‘hierarchy’. Apt comparisons to The Diary Of Anne Frank have been made.
