Synopsis
Science-fiction superstar and multiple Hugo and Nebula Award winner Nancy Kress comes to YA in this brain-twisting thriller How far would you go?

Somehow, she gets chosen, and she leaps to sign a contract despite her misgivings.

But the producers are willing to do anything to maintain ratings, including using blatant setups, 24/7 surveillance, and even state-of-the-art holographic technology to simulate danger. But soon, the danger becomes all too real, and Amyon and off the cameramust fight for her life .
