Grade 8
16-year-old Shay Remby really loves her brother, so much so that she leaves the guaranteed safety of her foster home to go help her slightly autistic brother, Odin, in the mean streets of Los Angeles. The only problem is her brother is a felon, and if she doesn't find him soon he may be dead.
Shay's brother got involved with a radical environmental group that performed a raid on a scientific research facility that was performing experiments on monkeys and other living animals. The radicals thwarted the facilities' experiments by letting the animals out of cages, took video, and stole encrypted hard drives. The group of felons then fled to L.A. Shay follows them hoping to help her brother. It turns out she does more than that with some unlikely partners.
I thought the plot was outstanding. The authors wrote with a clearly thought out plan with many twists and turns. While reading this book you will never know what comes next because of the great plot.
I would recommend Uncaged to anyone because of the plot and the theme. However, this book is a little hard to understand at times, but strong readers shouldn't have a problem.
