Details

Someday, Jaiden Beale hopes to tell the world "what it was like to be the first kid raised by a corporation." For now, though, his secret identity is pretty embarrassing. NECorp, a global firm that adopted Jaiden after one of its products accidentally killed his parents, controls Jaiden's life. After fourteen years of "corporate existence," Jaiden finally rebels, hanging out with an "unapproved" girl and running away on his bike. Then Jaiden discovers damaging information about NECorp and has to decide what his "family" really means to him.

Level Young Adult Plus Pages Count 240 Summary When a mistake at NECorp led directly to the death of his parents, the courts appointed the corporation Jaiden’s guardian. Important decisions, such as what television shows Jaiden may watch or whom he should date, are decided by his manager—in consultation with a committee and with advice from Legal. When the suits ruin Jaiden’s first date with Jenny, he runs away and discovers a world outside of NECorp—one that is slowly being poisoned by NECorp’s mercury emission levels. Wanting to help Jenny stop the pollution and fearing for the economic security of Nancy and her coworkers, Jaiden is placed in the center of a struggle to control the environment, the press, NECorp, and even Jaiden’s own life.
