Little Mice by Tara Crowe - Young Adult Values & Virtues Paperback

In a society where contribution is mandatory and age is a privilege, seventeen-year-old Astra Fairwood's secure life as the daughter of the Chief Enforcer is shattered when she is cast out of the privileged Canopy Complex and into the Donor Zone. Forced to confront the world she was raised to fear, Astra encounters a girl who challenges her beliefs and reveals that the true threat lies not in the Zone, but within the Canopy itself.

As tensions escalate and loved ones are endangered, Astra must grapple with a profound choice: uphold the life she was promised or embrace the truth that the Canopy's survival is built upon the suffering of others.
