SCORED
Random House
Forget your family. Forget your friends. You are your score. Score above 90 and you’re set for life—a full college scholarship and the career of your dreams. Score below 75 and you’ve got a tough life ahead of you, kid.
Imani LeMonde has worked hard, and one month away from high school graduation, she’s a 92. Unfortunately, her best friend, Cady, is a 71 and falling fast. And now Diego McLune—brilliant, iconoclastic, and unscored—wants Imani for a study partner. The score-positive choice is clear: think of your future, stick with your score gang, and ditch these losers. But something about being scored doesn’t feel right to Imani anymore. ScoreCorp—the giant software company whose intelligent, ever-present cameras watch her every move—claims the score is meant to create a true meritocracy.
But who really benefits in this brave new world? Is any future worth the sacrifice of her best friend? Imani will have to decide fast, because once her final score is in, there’s no looking back.
