Sanctuary
Patric lives in Thrallia, in 2493, a modern city protected from the scorching sun and unbearable conditions of the outside world. An historian, he has heard of a people called the Moles, who once lived in an underground city nearby, but doesn't believe they actually existed. Then his friend Derek discovers a strange girl imprisoned in the quarter where the Supers, rulers of Thrallia, live.
Sanctuary is a sci-fi novel for young adults, telling the story of two very different civilizations in the year 2493 AD. The Thrallians are descended from mainstream society; they have blended all racial differences and are bred in laboratories in order to guarantee all citizens will uphold peace and harmony in Thrallia.
The Centrals are descended from the street kids of the 20th century, who lived in the underground subways. They live on whatever they can forage and their society is primitive in comparison with that of Thrallia.
There is very little interaction between the two societies and most of the Thrallians are not aware of the Centrals' existence.

A glimpse into the future, the difference between two groups of people's and their treatment of each. Somethings change yet everything seems to be the same. A well written story by this author. Highly recommended...

I was drawn into this descriptive book very easily! The characters you could imagine very clearly, and once I finished reading it I was wishing it would last a lot longer! It was nail bitingly tense at times, and a lot of thought had gone into the story! Very easy to get swept up in the pages!
I will most definately read more from Christine Gardner
