Escape

This book takes me back to when I was in 3rd grade. I bought it for my 5th grader and he loved it! His teacher was amazed because he had been a fan of these books when he was younger. Good reading material, and keeps kids interested!!

A cold war era vision of a future where the United States disintigrates into smaller regions, where one specifically in the west (called Dorado) falls into totalitarianism (!) complete with a stylized triangle shaped pinwheel symbol that implies a swastika. The reader is part of a rogue resistance group, whose over goal is to undermine the neofascist regime but more immediately - to escape (and hence the title.)My favorite of R.A. Montgomery's CYOA books. I don't want to spoil much, just beware the treacherous Hayden.
