By Mary E. Pearson
The Rotten Beast by Mary E. Pearson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A new, original science fiction story by Mary E. Pearson which features characters from and takes place in the near-future world of The Jenna Fox Chronicles.

In "The Rotten Beast," a sixteen-year-old girl named Allys, living in a near future version of the U.S., is vehemently opposed to the way scientists are meddling with human and artificial life. In fact, she blames such scientific overreaching for the illness which is killing her. When she awakens one day to find that her parents have gone against her wishes and had an illegal operation performed to save her life and restore her body, she is furious and must come to terms with this new chance at life, which she didn't ask for and didn't think she wanted.

“so creepy”
“This was a super quick read. I read it in about 5-10 minutes. It was about Allys's transition into a bio-gel robot, basically. I'm just happy that she's still alive. And after the last book where her parents and friends were devastated about her nearly dying, I'm really happy that we get to read what happens to her. On that note, I actually didn't realize that Allys's story was unfinished in the first book. It definitely left me hanging. So in that regard I'm really happy to read more about her. And if anyone is confused on where to find this book, I read it here: https://www.tor.com/2011/11/30/the-rotten-beast/ Overall, it was really a much needed snapshot into Allys's life after nearly dying. I liked it a lot, and I think it fits well into the Fox Chronicles. I also really like the chocolate peach. It sounds like a delicious combination, and something I would be willing to try.”
“3.25 stars wish it was longer I want to see more of allys’ journey”
