Blurb:
I am not my heart rate. I am not my skills.
I am not my sleeping problems.
I am not my stress.
I am not my fears.
I am not how I look like.
I am the very essence of me.
I am my will.
I am my passion.
I am my beliefs.
I am how much I can give and receive love.
I am infinite and possible. I am my soul.
My name is Decca Tenderstone. I live in a future America where teenagers are ranked on a scale from 1 to 10 on graduation day. There has never been a 10. Those below the rank of 5 are considered Monsters, a liability to society. They get killed. The system says I am a Monster. I will not let them kill me. I will survive.
Previously published in 2012. This is a rewritten edition in celebration for book 2 coming soon.
My
Review:
In
I Am Alive teenagers are rated on a scale from 1 - 10. Everybody wants to be a
10 and is raised from birth to be the best that they can be and hopefully they
will be a 10. When it is time for Decca to be rated the system says she is a
monster and monsters are considered a nuisance and a burden to society and will
always be below their standard of expectations and must fight for their right
to live.
About
the Author:
Things
you might want to know:
Cameron writes books that he can't find elsewhere, basically to amuse himself.
Everything Cameron does is for fun, so don't take him seriously. Never call him
a writer. He hates that. He prefers the word: Storyteller, or the boy next door
who claims he can tell stories.
If you like his books, horaaaay! He loves ya too. If ya don't, hoooray! Now we
know in advance that this relationship isn't going to work.
Although his books are ordinary on the surface, they hold many secrets that he
might reveal one day. What matters the most to him are characters struggling to
find their identities and place in the world.
Things you Don't need to know:
He celebrates his birthday twice a year, the day he was born and Friday the
13th. He wants to live in a bubble house. He is a damn good guitar player. He
is damn good architecture college drop out. He likes boats, beaches, bears,
beards, bananas, bars, barfights, beans, bikes, bones, butter, babes, bakery,
blizzards, and pirates ( he thought it was spelled Birates when he was a kid. )
And honestly, writing in third person sucks! It's so fake.
