About this listen
Twenty-five-year-old Joey Graceffa has captured the hearts of more than 8.3 million teens and young adults through his playful, sweet, and inspirational YouTube presence. Already a best-selling author with his memoir, In Real Life, Joey now presents his first novel, Children of Eden.
Rowan is a Second Child in a world where population control measures make her an outlaw marked for death. She can never go to school, make friends, or get the eye implants that will mark her as a true member of Eden. Her kaleidoscope eyes will give her away to the ruthless Center government.
Outside of Eden, Earth is poisoned and dead. All animals and most plants have been destroyed by a man-made catastrophe. Long ago the brilliant scientist Aaron al Baz saved a pocket of civilization by designing the EcoPanopticon, a massive computer program that hijacked all global technology and put it to use preserving the last vestiges of mankind. Humans will wait for thousands of years in Eden until the EcoPan heals the world.
As an illegal Second Child, Rowan has been hidden away in her family's compound for 16 years. Now, restless and desperate to see the world, she recklessly escapes for what she swears will be only one night of adventure. Though she finds an exotic world and even a friend, the night leads to tragedy. Soon Rowan becomes a renegade on the run - unleashing a chain of events that could change the world of Eden forever.

Lacking
I enjoy dystopia stories, because they let me escape from the real world. This one did not hit the mark for me. I know it is a young adult story so sometimes the stories aren’t as “deep” but I have found we have some great young adult authors around, so I like to give them a shot. This one seemed like it was written for a 14 year old. I found the main character, Rowan, to be overly dramatic about pointless things quit a few times throughout the story. Her inner dialect was boring and again dramatic/pointless, Let’s get on with the story! Although, maybe 14 year old girls would relate to Rowan better.
I did like the way she set up the community set up/distinction of “social/economic classes”. I also liked how the community had a very heavy reliance on technology that provided an additional obstacle for Rowan and her friends.
I didn’t like the ending... and over all I don’t think I would recommend it to my adult friends but maybe younger family.
