"...for reading, once begun, quickly becomes home and circle and court and family, and indeed, without narrative, I felt exiled from my own country. By the transport of books, that which is most foreign becomes one's familiar walks and avenues; while that which is most familiar is removed to delightful strangeness; and unmoving, one travels infinite causeways, immobile and thus unfettered." — M.T. Anderson (The Pox Party)

The Chosen One by Carol Lynch Williams
A disturbing look at life within an extreme religious sect. Although sometimes melodramatic, The Chosen One offers readers a glimpse at a world they could never begin to comprehend but also will hopefully lead the way to an understanding of the extremes to which some people are pushed. Although fairly sophisticated in theme, The Chosen One is written at a middle school level, making it accessible to more readers.
