In the year 2086, no one goes outside. No one, that is, except those who choose freedom over safety--like Oliver and his friends. Since the cave raids that tore their world apart, they have been living alone in the abandoned city of Cheyenne, trying to survive without the community they used to share when they lived underground. For Oliver, anything is better than his old life in the Fifth City, especially when he has Autumn by his side.
When eight-year-old Jesse is kidnapped by a drone, they have no choice but to travel back to City 5 to rescue him from the biopod generators that require human energy for fuel. Their journey is fraught with hardships, but amongst the people they meet there are whisperings of a great uprising that is to come.
Revolution. A new word for Oliver, but one he finds very interesting....
The Girl With the Song in Her Eyes is the long-anticipated sequel to The Boy Who Learned to Live, described by Kirkus as "A wholly absorbing, character-driven dystopian tale."
