Enter to win a signed copy of THE FORSAKEN by Lisa M. Stasse!
When the world has given up on you, who will you become?
As an obedient orphan of the U.N.A. (the super-country that was once Mexico, the U.S., and Canada), Alenna learned at an early age to blend in and be quiet—having your parents taken by the police will do that to a girl. But Alenna can’t help but stand out when she fails a test that all sixteen-year-olds have to take: The test says she has a high capacity for brutal violence, and so she is sent to The Wheel, a mysterious island where all would-be criminals end up.
The life expectancy of prisoners on The Wheel is just two years, but with dirty, violent, and chaotic conditions, the time seems a lot longer as Alenna is forced to deal with civil wars for land ownership and machines that snatch kids out of their makeshift homes. Desperate, she and the other prisoners concoct a potentially fatal plan to flee the island. Survival may seem impossible, but Alenna is determined to achieve it anyway.

To enter, fill out the form below:
I’d be a whole new different person. I guess that’s the point of starting my life over again.
I think I’d do a little bit of both. I would change, obviously. I’d have to learn to survive that way, but I think more core beliefs and personality would always stay the same no matter what.
If I had to start my life over, I will try to become a better person than I was because I must’ve been kicked out for some reason and I want to work on that so I could come back home.
i would probably become a new person who is independent and has survival instincts! Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to live without my family with the person that I am, the reason for this is because I am extremely dependent on them.
It depends on who I was before I was banished. Did life before banishment hinder who I really was? If so then yes I would become someone different, someone more me. If it did not then it would rely on another set of variables. Would I need to be someone different to survive? If so the yes. I am a survive and I will adapt to survive.
I would probably stay the same, since I’m very quiet and introverted. Being banished and alone would probably just exaggerate those characteristics.
I would most likely stay the same for the most part, but I would change with all of the obstacles I would have to face.
I would definitely become a new person 🙂
I would stay the same and not try and reinvent myself. Would try and create a new family.
I think it’s the perfect opportunity to start out fresh so I would start over and discover a brand new person inside of me.
I would stay the same. The only thing that would be different, are my actions. I’d do whatever I want to do and go wherever I want to go.
I think I would definitely change. I would start a new life, away from all these memories that would keep me captured.
i would perhaps stay the same. Only because I’m scared of the idea of changing who i am.
I would become a different person, as much as I’m happy with myself as I am, if I knew nobody and had nothing I think I’d like to try again with life.
I would try to be somebody new but keep what I liked about myself and try to improve.
I would reinvent myself but obviously, I’d still be me at heart. Strangely, this is a thought I’ve had lately…Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d definitely have to reinvent myself because otherwise I’d be wallowing in misery, missing my family. Starting over completely new would be a challenge and, I think, the only way I’d be able to cope.
If i was banished from my family, I think I would try to forget them as much as possible so as to numb the pain. I would probably absorb myself in something that was important to me like music or reading and I would probably try to make new friends whom wouldn’t question me about my life prior to that.
I would probably invent a new me.
I won’t try to go back and get to know my family because it would be too painful.
I think I would stay pretty much the same.
I would try to survive.Being alone would foce you to become harder and colder to the outside world.Bonding and forming relationships would be almost impossible…but survival of the fittest.
i would try to stay the same, but i probably wouldnt given the circumstances
I would stay the same. Even though there are lots of things I regret doing, those ‘things’ built my character, who I am today.
I would make several changes to myself. Why start a new life as the same person?
I would stay the same. I’m content with my current life.
It depends on where I ended up! I’m currently a city girl and if I ended up in a city I don’t think I would entirely change that much. However circumstances that lead me away (i.e. something that came out of fault of who I used to be) would effect this as well. If I was the cause I would probably want to change to prevent it from happening again.
Personality-wise, I would still be the same. But if something calls for me to change my lifestyle and whatsoever, I wouldn’t find it really hard. Also, the first thing I’d do is find a friend. Someone who can help me through. 🙂
I would stay the same
I’d probably try to change, but then I’d just end up… not change, though I’d stay under the radar, moving from place to place.
I would probably try to become a new person, but fall back into being exactly who I am – it’s hard to completely reinvent, and I don’t really believe we can change intrinsically.
I’d stay me and move on with my life and eventually find something better
I think that I would stay the same.
I’d probably go around, traveling to places and most likely change my identity. Sad, but what else can you do? Thanks for the amazing giveaway!
I’d stay the same.Or maybe a teensy weesy less careless. 🙂
I would mostly try to stay the same, keeping the things that only true family and friends knew about me and changing the rest. That way they would be able to find me again
I would become who I’m meant to be. Hahahaaaaaaaaa.:)
I wouldn’t make the same mistakes
I’d probably stay the same, but maybe pick myself an awesome new mysterious superhero name, even though I’m most decidedly not a superhero.
I would be a new person because it would all be a new experience. Yes, Yes I know it would suck not seeing my family and friends and all my important people but I would just like to know what it is like to be a new person and start a new life all from scratch when I already have experience 16 years of my life. But if I am a new person I would still try to find my parents from my early life to see how things are going and how different a life could be by just being a different person because everyone is different. It would kind of be scary because I won’t know what kind of life I would if is going to be sad, happy, a rich or poor girl, and abandon girl or if would have a family and everything that is important in life. But I would definite like to start a new life because just the feeling of thinking that something like that could happen in real life keeps me wondering. 🙂
I would totally choose to be a different person… that’d be cool :p
I would totally choose to be a different person… that’d be cool :p
I would stay the same but become a better version of me that would make my loved ones back home proud.
I would become a new person either way because change is imminent and because changing would be learning to accept what I did wrong.
I would mostly stay the same but I would try to be braver and more self-confident. Basically I would try to be stronger.
I would be a completely different person, completely leave this person behind.
I would stay the same. It doesn’t even really feel like a choice for me. I’m quite the introvert and I’m not really good at being outgoing so I couldn’t magically turn into this confident person.
I can’t imagine being banished from my home & family. It’d be so insane & unreal! I would most likely stay true to myself, but I’d see some major changes in my attitude if everything I’d known was taken away from me.
If I had to start my life over I would be relieved because I don’t really like the family I have, but at the same time I would be sad because other people who are in my life are very important. I wouldn,t want to lose them, so I would like them to stay.
