A widespread fever, known as blood fever, infected and killed most of the population of Kenettra. A few young children survived, and were left with strange markings on their bodies. Among these survivors is Adelina Amourteru. The Inquisition Axis, an agency that works for the king, is trying to kill every one of the survivors. The people with markings are also known as malfettos. The Inquisition Axis believes that malfettos could be a potential threat to the world. A group of malfettos with exceptional abilities, the Young Elites, recruit Adelina Amourteru. The Young Elites try to find others like themselves to destroy the Inquisition Axis and eventually rule Kenettra.
I think The Young Elites was an amazing book. Some parts were full of tragedy, and others full of action, suspense, and love. The Young Elites’ multiple genres kept my interest in the book. Certain parts of the book could be improved in comedy, but overall, The Young Elites is one of the best books I have ever read.
One memorable thing about the book is Adelina Amourteru’s expression when she first meets Enzo, a Young Elite.

ABOUT … Adrienne, Teen Librarian & Digital Media Lab Librarian at Libbie Mill Library.
Hi, I’m Adrienne, and I’ve been a Teen Librarian at HCPL since 2006. I started at Twin Hickory and moved to Libbie Mill in 2015. Come visit our Teen Room and check out all we have for you -- books, great study and hanging out space, free computers, free classes in 3D design & printing, Coding, Photoshop and soooo much more!
Random stuff about me:
* Favorite book: Hmmmm, this is hard, since it changes all the time as I read new stuff and depending on what mood I’m in. However, there is one book that I know will still make me snort with laughter even when I’m 80 years old — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.
* Favorite food: perfectly made toast
* Favorite band/music: Cake. I will never get enough Cake.
* Favorite reference question: Q: How long does it take the galaxy to rotate once? A: It’s called a galactic or cosmic year and it takes about 225-250 million earth years.
* Pets: I have two cats and a dog. Marcus and Grey are the cats who were rescued from a box in the woods when they were just little puffballs. When they are not acting insane, they are very sweet and purr loudly. My dog is named Peter and he's a medium size poodle mix (we call him the substandard poodle). He's got floppy ears, snores and loves green beans.
