Hey YA Readers: It’s time for your deals!
“What’s Up in YA?” is sponsored by Amazon Publishing and The Rule of Many by Leslie Saunders and Ashley Saunders.
In a near-future America, rebellious sisters herald a revolutionâif they can survive. Twins Ava and Mira Goodwin defy the Rule of One, a single-child law ruthlessly enforced by Texasâs Governor Roth, simply by existing. The law has made the sisters famous fugitives in Canada and inspirations for a rebellion. But as the relentless Roth consolidates his power, Ava and Mira give up their safe haven and find new allies. Together theyâll converge on Dallas for a reckoning with nothing less than their destiniesâand their freedomâon the line. Disobedience means death. But a life worth living demands rebellion.
