Audio Book Summary

Discover this internationally bestselling, National Book Award–winning young adult classic about what it means to be human with an updated, reimagined cover!

Matt Alacrán wasn’t born. He was harvested.

His DNA came from El Patrón, the drug-lord ruler of the country of Opium. Most people hate and fear clones like Matt—except for El Patrón. El Patrón loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself.

As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, and realizes escape is his only chance to survive. But escape from the Alacrán Estate is no guarantee of freedom.

    Absolutely fantastic! The story + the narration made the characters come alive, we felt like we were watching a movie and wondered why this book has not been turned into a movie yet. We listened to it during our travels to visit family over the holidays and were glued to the audio speaker 'til the end!
