Bar Code Tattoo
Once I read this amazing dystopian book called Bar Code Tattoo.It was about this 16 year-old girl called Kayla. In her world, everything was controlled by a company called Global-1. The latest thing was a thing called the bar code tattoo. It was a tattoo in the form of a bar code that held all your medical information, your money, and everything about you. Kayla's dad dies, and her mother says that the bar code killed him. At her school, there is a group called Decode headed by politician Dave Young. They claim that the bar code is an invasion of your privacy, and that it does something strange to your life. Some people with the bar code are rocketing unnaturally to success. For some people, like Kayla's friend Amber, the bar code ruins their life. It "malfunctions", so they can no longer use it, or it messes up their information. As Kayla decides to not get the tattoo, a law is passed that all teens without a bar code will be arrested. A bit of advice: READ. IT. NOW.

You are a dystopian book review specialist! (I'd love to read more about your opinions about the books, what you thought didn't work well or could be better, what questions the books bring up for you.)
