The Coalition can track anyone, anywhere, from a chip implanted at birth. Now Jacob must fulfill his promise to his parents, find his dog, Jet, and navigate his way out of England. Their only hope is a band of children who have found a way to survive off the grid: The Outwalkers. Their rules are strict, but necessary if they're going to get out alive...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Outwalkers</i></b>Gritty action-adventure with layered characters, plenty of danger, and themes focused on immigration and government control. -- <i>Booklist</i>Impossible to set aside for long.
