The Forgetting by Sharon Cameron

     The Forgetting by Sharon Cameron came with my preview book pack for the Scholastic Spring Book Fair.  The back cover states, "What isn't written, isn't remembered.  Even your crimes."  So with that we already know this is going to be a dystopia novel.
     It starts with Nadia, the main character, racing back to the city of Canaan after going beyond the wall.  Little does she know she's being watched.  Gray is also curious about what lies beyond the walls of their safe and secure city.  Together they began to unravel the secrets of "The Forgetting," a day filled with chaos as everyone's memories are lost unless they have been written down in your book.  Nadia realizes certain people are not writing down the truth, as she is the only one hasn't forgotten.  Memories come back to her, and she and Gray must race against time to stop the threat to the people and city of Canaan before it's too late.
    This is a good addition for teen libraries, especially ones with a high demand on dystopia genre.  This one fits nicely into this section, but has it's own uniqueness to set it apart.
