Ransom has crafted a colorful, furturistic world that feels remarkably prescient. The characters are vivid and their relationships are relatable. What really sets this science fiction dystopia apart is the meticulous detail the author, a science teacher herself, has incorporated to build the world of SciCity and its surrounding environs. It is this authenticity that makes it such a compelling read.

How much of who we are is nature vs nurture? In a not so far future, nature, nurture, and genetic enhancements help shape how one high-schooler, Calyssa Brentwood, filters her world. How do these factors influence her decisions and how she navigates in and out of her social circles? This book is a fantastic read, with a blend of real world science, and what ifs that seem totally possible. Young adults will relate to being torn between family, friends, and discovering their guiding principles. Going Green is action packed while emphasizing the importance of empathy, an open mind, and an open heart.

So I started reading this book and hated it at the beginning. I hated every single character inclouding Calyssa. I somehow managed to force myself to continue reading and I am glad I did because I really started to get into the plot, relationships, and characters. In the end, I left the book with a deep need for a sequel that I will read very soon.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone and even if you don't really like the story at the beginning keep reading cause I promise you it is gonna be worth it.
