Until she meets Chloe – the new girl in town who has the number 16 on her forehead. From the moment we meet her, we soon realise she is perfecting the ability to not get close to people. Naturally, this would be a little morbid even for the most optimistic of people. This story follows the life of a teenage Harper who has the ability to see the age people will die on their foreheads. She is going to be dead by the end of the summer, unless Harper can find a way to stop it. That means that Chloe doesn’t have twelve months to live.

And then. Then come the constantly redefined, impossible criteria for "real" citizenship. Already there are the designated neighborhoods, segregated transit, curfews, English-only language ordinances, extrajudicial deportation, and the complacence that lets it all happen. Trying to regulate the unwanted into oblivion is, unfortunately, old hat it's old hat even in Ink. No surprise, then, that in Sabrina Vourvoulias' Ink, the dehumanizing methods leveled against "inks" - people foreign-born or of foreign ancestry, tattooed by the government to broadcast their status - sound so familiar. The cruelty of the present echoes past cruelties that were never reckoned with the history of so many countries is pockmarked with so many horrors that one need only look backwards to imagine the worst that lies ahead. It's sometimes surprising to look at a book outlining a bleak future and see how startlingly accurate it's become - but it shouldn't be. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
