Scarlet
Andra boken i The Lunar Chronicles! I Scarlet återser vi Cinder, som nu försöker fly från det fängelse där vi sist lämnade henne - trots att det kommer att göra henne till den mest jagade personen i hela Samväldet.På andra sidan jorden söker Scarlet Benoit - en tuff fransk tjej som inte drar sig för att bära pistol - efter sin försvunna mormor. Och det visar sig att det är mycket hon inte känt till om sin mormor eller den livsfara hon levt i under hela sitt liv. När Scarlet träffar Wolf, en streetsmart slagskämpe som tycks veta en del om hennes mormor, har hon svårt att lita på honom. Samtidigt känner hon sig oförklarligt dragen till honom - och han till henne. Scarlet är en futuristisk version av sagan om Rödluvan. Ett oförglömligt äventyr i en värld befolkad av människor, cyborger och androider. MARISSA MEYER är en amerikansk ungdomsboksförfattare som gjort succé med sin The Lunar Chronicles-serie.
