Ummm. Well. I like dystopian books but you see this one wasn't dystopian to me. It was almost historic in a way that madeIt seem dystopian. Now I'm the reader that has to read an entire series. So I will be reading the next book. This was also one of those nice books you could read in an hour or two which was really nice. Overall the concept was good and the characters were greatly developed throughout the entire book. I just think the book needed to be longer so the entire plot could play out better because one second this is happening and the next it's something different. The book just needed more details and a better laid out plot. Otherwise it was an ok read in my opinion. Patricia C. McKissack is the author of several books about slavery and Civil rights. When she wrote The Clone Codes, she wanted to approach her topic in a more futuristic way with a very different situation (yet the same issue). Leanna Dewberry is a girl living years into the future where clones are used as slaves. I liked this novel's message: that even though slavery is illegal now, discrimination still exists as part of humanity. It makes readers think about what teachers say is long solved: is discrimination truly gone?
This book is basically about the future. I didn't understand it at first but i tried to than i did.

Futuristic clones and cyborgs? Nothing is better than this.
