home > books> torched
When her parents are busted on drug charges, the FBI
gives Ellie a choice: cooperate by infiltrating the
Mother Earth Defenders (MED), a radical environmental
group that may be turning to violence—or stand by
and let her parents go to jail for life.
Soon, Ellie is immersed in the dangerous world of
extreme activism, including setting a Hummer
dealership on fire. But the more time she spends
undercover—particularly with Coyote, the gorgeous
green-eyed MEDic—the harder it is to tell who's
right and who's wrong. When MED's plans turns to
murder, will Ellie have the courage to keep her cover
and save her parents—even if it means losing Coyote
and putting her own life on the line?The author of the acclaimed YA thriller, ShockPoint,
April Henry boldly tackles an issue ripped straight
from today's headlines. A fiery blend of action and
romance, Torched will ignite the imagination of
readers as they burn through the pages to see what
happens next.
Back Flap:
April Henry came up with the idea for Torched when
she heard a radio interview with an FBI spokesperson
after a radical environmental group had torched the
offices of a local lumber company. She writes, "The
spokesperson said that the FBI had been unable to
penetrate the group. Now of course, if they had
someone undercover, they would never have revealed it.
But it got me thinking: Most of the activists are
under twenty-five, but you can't be an FBI agent until
you are at least twenty-three. So would the FBI be
forced to turn to an underage informant—or even
create one?"
