After reading Killer T I was exciting to read this books. Killer T was thought provoking from start to finish and I found myself thinking incredibly critically towards science and the world following my read. Though reading Arctic Zoo was indeed thought provoking, it was for a whole different reason.
The story follows Georgia who after a family tragedy finds herself rebelling against her usual life of straight As whereas Julius, from Nigeria, finds himself wanting a relationship that his family was disapprove of and thus rebels in his own way. Both find themselves at the Walter J Freeman Adolescent Health Unit in the United Kingdom and so the book leads on to tell us about their lives before thy got there!
Interestingly the stories remain very separate from one another throughout, jumping from each's perspective after every few chapters or so. Though I may have perhaps liked to see more of Julius and Georgia together, I believed the book to be well written and thought provoking, an important thing to be for teens and young adults. I will always believe more books that cover these topics is integral.
Another brilliant Robert Muchamore book!
